00:00jeez yeah how did i get from that awkward kid to where i am today
00:04it's been a wild ride come along with me for a minute
00:08my journey's taking you all the way to a small town in kansas called
00:15overbrook and before i was keebler i was a normal farm boy in a small town in kansas
00:20i was raised by a completely normal family yes that is our family picture in an all patriotic
00:27outfit be jealous you should be by the time i had turned 18 i had never been out of the four
00:33surrounding states of kansas so naturally i joined the marine corps and moved to california
00:37and that was honestly the best decision i ever made in my entire life i met so many great friends
00:43that turned into brothers i did one tour in afghanistan and i got to see the world clear your
00:49backblast backblast one two three rocket yeah but a wise man once told me a long time ago you can
01:04only be married to one thing at a time and then i was married to the biggest bitch in the entire world
01:09the united states marine corps anyone who's in the military will get that joke anyway my enlistment
01:14was up after four years and after my four-year enlistment i decided i want to be in radio so i
01:20went from camp pendleton california all the way back to lawrence kansas where i attended the university
01:26of kansas home of the jayhawks where i was on their college radio station kjhk where i was kansas
01:32women's basketball play-by-play announcer but being 22 already had been to a war i had seen the world
01:37seen what real life was like i realized really quickly that college was not for me so i found a way
01:44to get into the radio business faster i went ahead and i applied for a position at the connecticut
01:50school of broadcasting and i said mom i'm moving to charlotte north carolina so i can go to broadcasting
01:55school so i packed up my 1989 lincoln town car with a u-haul on the back and my dog chive vet and my
02:03cat sinatra and we moved to charlotte that was actually one of the proudest moments in my life i had
02:08actually made a name for myself for the two years that i had lived there i went from attending the
02:12connecticut school of broadcasting to getting an internship being part-time on their street team
02:18to being on-air talent on the weekend finally after enough practice i felt like i was ready for a full
02:24time job i started applying everywhere i even applied to a station in alaska but after a couple
02:30months of searching i finally found a home in sioux falls south dakota yeah it was cold but i learned a
02:40lot there at big country 92.5 ktwb thanks to the help of tom jeardrum he was a wonderful man he taught
02:46me a lot but i knew being on a night show in a small market wasn't for me i wanted more i needed
02:52more so i decided to take another job about nine months later in georgia and that is all i'm going
02:59to say about that radio station because let's be honest where it was in georgia was the most wicked
03:03city in america and it lived up to its name but there was one good thing that came out of that radio
03:09station that i worked for in georgia and it was a video that i had made with broadway bill lee
03:14and one person found it in particular travis daly my boss and after about nine months of negotiating
03:21i finally found myself at 99.5 qik here in tampa bay so why am i telling you all of this because i
