How did I get here....I worked in radio since High School...WCSQ-FM, onto College at WOCC, to the professional commercial world WKFM, WOSC, WGES, WHEN, WRRB, WPCX, WMBO, WCSP, WMMB, WBVD, WIXC, WHKR.

And The Answer IS..."Whatever I want to play or whatever my friends and listeners ask for!” Zero Brakes Allowed Its-all-here I’m on go — no brakes, no doubt, Every second lit like a knockout bout. Midnight hustle, sun-up grind, No map for this — I blaze my line. Zone locked in, no outside noise, This is grown-man game, not toys. Break the system, flip that code, Heart on fire — ZERO BRAKE MODE. I move fast, with soul and sound, Turn dark days into battlegrounds. This is life with no fear allowed, Watch me rise — stand back, stay proud.
