Thanks for listening to New Jersey 101.5! This is how I end all my emails to listeners, because I am truly happy you are listening! I was hired as the Program Director of New Jersey 101.5 all the way back in 1999…wow that seems like a couple of decades and at least one century ago! I became the Brand Manager in 2011. Wow, 18 years here…that’s a lifetime in radio years — and I’ve loved every minute of it! Prior to my time here, I spent time at radio stations in Philadelphia after starting my career at radio stations in South Jersey. I was born in Atlantic City, raised in Mays Landing….got married to my wife Linda in ’88, our son Steve joined the party in 1991 and my daughter Lindsay arrived in 1993. In my spare time I do a lot of running…about 40 miles a week! I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends! I am proud of how New Jersey 101.5 serves the community including providing a lifeline to our listeners during events like Superstorm Sandy. Proud To Be New Jersey!
