Highlights

• I really love working in the medium of audio, since it’s relatable to so many people in so many ways
• I have helped bring literally a handful of new stations and counting, online in the few years I have been with BSPR, which is rewarding!
• I enjoy the views of Idaho I get to experience along the way to and from our sites and from the top of our towers

Experience

I started in radio broadcasting while in junior high, went back into broadcasting right out of high school, then jumped between TV camera news/editing work, satellite broadcasting/fiber encoding for a few years and ultimately landed in radio for the greater part of my career, thus far.

I was born in a musical family, tinkered with electronics and sound gear in my younger years, and it’s great to always be around music and audio in various forms, still. My past hobbies include riding waves the size of “mountains” in the Pacific Ocean …now I slide around on mountains of snow here in Idaho and other rocky mountain states in whatever free time I can find. I also really just enjoy a nice leisurely walk along the various green belts of the Treasure Valley with my wife and daughter, just to do something other than work or the extreme stuff, mentioned above.

I joined Boise State Public Radio to expand my career in broadcast engineering, which allows me to apply skills learned along the way, but also continue learning while working to maintain the BSPR statewide radio broadcast network. It’s a joy to help maintain and bring stations online, as well as expand the service offerings to new and existing communities. Collectively, the engineering department really does put the “state” in Boise State Public Radio. Where you go in Idaho, we are there.
