Experience

This is my third time round with KBSU: 1976-78, 81-85 and since 2007, the permanent fill-in host for “Private Idaho,” a free-form program created by the late Victor Pacania in the early 1980s. I also created “Idaho Music” as a showcase for our state’s musicians in 2011.

In between my KBSU days I worked as an announcer, music director and/or program director for commercial rock and country radio stations. I worked for nearly 11 years as a Field Research Specialist for Mediabase Research.
