Joe is an enthusiastic young talent in radio who is living the dream as a personality on his favorite station, WQMX! Joe got his start in college serving as the Production Director for the University of Akron's Z88, and his love for live and local radio has since skyrocketed. He was brought on as an intern for RCRG in 2022 working as a weekend jock and member of the street team in promotions until landing the overnight position on WQMX.
Joe is a lifelong local to the Akron/Canton area. Outside of the studio, he has a love for boating, fishing, disc golf, and off-roading. He is the proud owner of a classic American muscle car, and the toughest decision he faces on a sunny day is whether to drive his Chevy or ride his motorcycle. Fun fact: Joe LOVES grape flavor.
Joe strives to make a connection with his audience and is authentically himself in any setting. Country music holds a special place in his heart, and he relishes being at concerts and community events engaging with listeners and having a great time!
My old Chevy Blazer hit a landmark today; the twenty-six-year-old 4x4 now has 225,000 miles! To celebrate, let's check out this music video. It features one of my favorite content creators, some cool trucks, and more:

Every Thursday, I rank my top ten of something- anything! This time around, how about months of the year? We all live through the twelve of them and enjoy each month for certain reasons. It could be the Holidays, the climate, or whatever. We're just about halfway through the year, so I suppose now is as good a time as ever for my top ten months! 10. February 9. November 8. April 7. August 6.…

I just keep getting torn up physically. Last week, after The Country Fest, I took a slip and hit the ground in a bad way. Since then, my lower back/tailbone area has been a little sore, and I've sort of been taking it easy. A few days back, I was hanging out with the dog when he came across some trash. I think it was an old piece of fish or something, but in the…

From top to bottom, these past few days have been great. I spent the afternoon with my mom on Friday; we checked out a few yard sales and came across some nice finds, though it was a scorcher outside! The heat made us quit that sooner than we otherwise would have, but it was fun nonetheless. Come 4 PM, it was time for me to get ready to head to Blossom. Hank Williams Jr. was…

It's June's full moon tonight, called the Strawberry Moon. With the summer solstice happening this week too, there's some interesting and special stuff going on up there. This is the first full moon as such to arrive following the summer solstice since the year 1796, and it's also the lowest full moon of the year. If you'd like to know more about the significance of this full Strawberry Moon, I came across a nice webpage…

These hot days we've been having are keeping me indoors for the most part, and so I've been having some fun playing video games. There was never a point in my life that we didn't have some console or portable device for gaming, and I've had experience playing on a wide range of systems. Exclusive game titles, graphics, controller feel, online connection, subscription costs, nostalgia, and so many more factors go into ordering this list.…

The Country Fest 2024 was amazing. We're still grinning from the experience, but if you weren't so fortunate as to have been there, don't worry! You can get a slice of that joy down at Clay's Resort Jellystone Park in about a month and a half for Neon Nights! We're already really looking forward to that, and if you want to avoid the FOMO on some awesome shows at a great location, let me make…

To begin, can I ask one big thing of you? When you go fishing, please don't litter. You see, I went to the Mogadore Reservoir yesterday to do some fishing, and the area is just gorgeous. The weather was perfect, the water was blue, and it was all-around peaceful as I followed a narrow trail down towards the shoreline. Vibes were good until I came upon the spot and found myself surrounded by littered trash. …

Hank's second time on the boat was less enjoyable than his first. He was bad! It's tough to be upset, though, with that cute face. My fiancée Mackenzie and I did some floating around and, after some time, we anchored at a little honey hole. At first, Hank was restless, but he settled down and slept for a long time. We caught a handful of fish and enjoyed a peaceful hour (or two) under the…

What an amazing concert! It was my first time out at Blossom this season and an overall awesome evening out on the lawn. Just coming into the place, it was apparent this was going to be a huge show. Before we could even make it to the signs that read sold out, we came upon some major traffic. We shimmied through it all in decent time, and I made it over to the WQMX setup. …

It's fishin' season! I haven't been out to the lake so far this year nearly as much as I would like to, but there's still plenty of time. I've been fishing for as long as I can remember. I've fished everywhere from Canada to Florida, and for all sorts of different species. There's always a pole in my car. I never quite figured it out, but I have tried fly fishing. It's not for me.…
