How/why you got into radio:
When I was 19, I wanted to find a cool summer job. Since I loved music, I sent cold letters to several radio stations and concert venues in town, and got a call back from Lazer 103. They hired me to do market research 20 hours a week. I loved it so much that I transferred from UWGB to UWM and switched my major from Environmental Policy & Planning to Broadcast Journalism. I’ve been in radio ever since.

Chocolate milk!
