Before I started working in radio, which was my dream job for as long as I could remember, I worked as a bartender for years, then worked briefly in an office, at one point I even did high voltage line work repairing power lines.

With each job, after a few years, I'd get the itch to change and move onto something different while still actively trying to land that radio gig.

For me, it happened in 2017 when I started working for a small AM station in Reading, PA and from there worked my way to the Jersey Shore.
