My radio experience began at WLTL, my high school station in the Chicago suburbs, as a DJ and Music Director. I was also MD and then General Manager for KDRK at Drake University. Back home, I interned at WXRT/WSCR in the promotions and programming departments. Eventually, I shifted away from radio for many years, but was happy to start volunteering at CHIRP in 2018. I have been a DJ since Summer 2019 and became a CHIRP Music Director in 2024. I play drums in a couple bands, and record my own music under the name Chip Chop.
