| My first full-time radio announcing job came in 1966 at WKBO in Harrisburg, PA. I was there for almost 6 years and got a lot of good experience as a disc- jockey and production director. I even did some basketball play-by-play. |

| I landed
my first major-market position at legendary rock station, WIBG in Philadelphia, where I did a midday air-shift and later became production director. I wrote and produced a lot of commercials and promos from 1972 to 1976. I also produced Don Cannon's comedy album and co-wrote and performed in two syndicated comedy serials. |

In
1980, I returned to radio. I was on-air and commercial announcer for easy-listening, EAZY-101 in Philadelphia. During the eighties, the music format became more contemporary and the station was top-rated. I eventually became production director at EAZY's sister-station, WFIL, and in the early 90's did a morning-drive show for a couple years. |
