I am a legally blind former radio broadcaster. I began my radio career in 1979 as an overnight board operator and quickly moved up to a full music program host for WTAL AM-1450, at that time a soft AC formatted station.
After WTAL I returned to complete my degree in communications at Florida State University. While at FSU, I became an intern, then a full time paid staff writer, for the FSU Media Relations Office.
While still at Media Relations I joined WCVC-AM 1330, a Christian station, where I worked three separate stints for a total of 13 years. First as an on-air host, later as a program director and station manager, and taking on sales in 1997, I worked first in PM and later AM, drive.
A lease of WCVC to a third party eliminated that job, and I quickly realized there were no radio jobs to go to.
That led to my founding of Delta Star Radio of Florida in 2001. In 2004 I left WCVC to devote more time to my family, and to begin development of an online country music station.
That station has grown substantially, but with "growing pains" of its own. The current need for more space, and completion of a traditional country music library, has brought me to Kickstarter.
