I was sitting at home earlier this afternoon before I came into work and I realized...HEY! Today is the anniversary day of when I got hired by Rubber City Radio Group - the parent company of WQMX! I've been here ten years! Let's go back to those days.

I was 26 years old and had been done with all of my schooling for 18 months. I was getting worried that I might not find a job and may need to consider another path. Then I learned about an opening to work for WAKR during sports broadcasts. I had my interview...it went well, and I had the job! I was in studio a few nights a week running commercials during Indians (Guardians), Cavs, Browns, and Ohio State games. Eventually, I was able to expand on that to producing talk shows in all dayparts (including the Ray Horner Show) as needed.

Next thing I knew, I was able to get a chance at my dream job - on-air at a music station when I filled in on WQMX last minute. That turned into a regular part time gig on weekends, then I was able to go full time duing the week. Next thing I knew, I moved up to weekday nights on WQMX! I love my job and the people I work with...they're awesome! They tell you find something you love and find a way to get paid for it...you'll never work a day in your life. I am here to tell you that statement is 100% true!
