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!
I'm not sure why exactly, but I've really been craving popsicles recently. We have those patriotic Bomb-Pops, Grape, Orange, and some flavor that is red. (I'm hoping they're cherry.) They're just so good! I'm like that with a lot of stuff. I'll get on a kick, then want nothing to do with whatever I was previously obsessed with. That goes beyond food too. It's like a light switch; I'll go all in and totally ditch…

I visited my dentist today for a regular cleaning appointment and compared to the last time I was on my back with somebody's hands in my mouth, it was a breeze. Scraping plaque, we uncovered the one spot I have still sensitive from getting those wisdoms removed; I nearly jumped out of the chair! Otherwise, my chompers are in great shape. The dental assistant who takes care of me is an awesome lady who makes…

It was a nice one for me spending lots of time with my fiancée Mackenzie and my puppy dog hank. The three of us attended the WQMX Pet Expo and had an awesome time. Hank really stole the show, as the little celebrity he is. He was loving everybody as much as they were him. I think he makes a great unofficial mascot of WQMX! He did so well meeting all sorts of different people…

Are you going to the Chris Stapleton show at Blossom tonight? If so, be sure to try out his signature drink, available only on the tour. It's a whiskey lemonade made using his special Traveller Whiskey, dubbed "Lucky Penny Lemonade." Give that a go, and let us know how you liked it during our Concert Encore in the 11PM hour with Eric Matthews here on 94.9 WQMX. Tune in, then call or text in to…

A while back, I listed my top ten Pixar movies here for a blog and I had a lot of fun with that. Everyone's got a favorite, and just yesterday, my brother and I circled back on the topic. I reminded him of my picks and he shared his, and then the topic carried over into movies from DreamWorks. Here's what I came up with! 10. How to Train Your Dragon 9. Monsters VS. Aliens…

29 pounds... that's how much my little Bloodhound puppy, Hank, weighs. It's crazy. Just two or three weeks ago when we got him, he weighed half as much as he does now. He's like a cinder block! Seriously, picking this dude up is going to start causing some strain real soon. And he's got a long way to go, too. Hank will end up weighing upwards of 120 pounds! He had his very first visit…

Since buying my old Blazer, I've been on the lookout for a new set of wheels. There's nothing necessarily wrong with those that were on there, but I wanted something different. So, Friday, I picked up these bad boys (pictured). I'm getting mixed reactions to the new look, but I like them! That's all that matters, right? My only issue is: those tires are SO SMALL. They're pretty old too, and they're currently just on…

Its Memorial Day this weekend! Have a great time and be safe, and don't forget to recognize the reasons why we set this day aside in remembrance. Here's a video to refresh you on the importance of this Holiday. Now, do you have any specific plans for Monday? Maybe you're visiting a cemetery or spectating a parade. Personally, I'll likely be looking for a car show to attend in my El Camino. This weekend and…

Memorial Day is this Sunday, marking the unofficial start of summer! With that, there's no better time to talk about some of the foods we enjoy most at a cookout. With friends and family, gathering for an outside meal is one of my favorite parts of these warmer months we're just getting into. From holidays like Independence Day to graduation parties and birthdays, a cookout is a great way to feed any number of people.…

I'm not sure what changed, but I'm really not loving these hot days we've been having. I used to hate the winter and prefer the summer, but not anymore. Fall is by and large my favorite season, and that's always been a constant. I love that we experience the full spectrum here in Northeast Ohio, but I think summer is coming in a little strong, currently. The most temperate seasons, spring and autumn, are never…

This is awesome: apparently, there's now a Cheez-It diner called the Cheez-In. It's in New York, roughly eight hours away from us here in Akron, and I'd love to check it out. Cheez-its were always my go-to as a kid, and they still occupy a spot at the top of the list of my favorite snacks. (Microwave popcorn is another strong contender for first place.) I always clear them out of our vending machine here…

I can hardly believe it, but this is my 200th blog for the WQMX.com website! Since the start of these, I've written a nightly blog for every shift I've worked, without fail. Admittedly, it's not always easy to do. Sometimes I have no idea what I want to cover and am left to overcome writers-block. I'm not sure if anyone would necessarily be left holding their breath if I missed a post, but maintaining consistency…

Thursday was a productive day for me. I started out helping my brother finalize a speech he'd been working on. I then mowed the lawn and put some work in using my pressure washer. I got the kayaks sprayed off and rinsed out, did the kitchen trash can, and cleaned up some pavement near the driveway. I also sprayed the mower (what a difference!) and hit my minibike with the water too. I spent some…

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! It's hard not to love the stuff. A cool cup of dairy on a hot summer day always puts a smile on my face, and it's been a favorite frozen treat for generations. At home or at the stand, in a cup or a cone; it's my top ten ice cream flavors! Lemon Strawberry Vanilla Strawberry Swirl Rainbow Sherbert Birthday Cake Vanilla (Soft Serve) Grape…
