Radio history:

Click Here for an aircheck (updated 2/2/07) featuring material from 1986-2007,
This aircheck is called "The Kitchen Sink" and includes a lot of stuff from WRQK,
in Canton, OH, along with WNCX, WIXV, CNN Worldwide Radio, ESPN Radio,
some phony phone calls, production, etc.

I have been on the air, in one form or another, since 1986.

I found myself on the air, a few weeks after graduation from High School, at John Carroll University's WUJC (now WJCU). My progressive metal program, Metalmorphosis, was on the air, for 15 years, on various stations. Saturday nights were an amazing time on college radio, at WUJC. I interviewed hundreds of local artists, broadcasts concerts and began my radio career with ten years of amazing memories. Metalmprphosis would run from 1986-1994 and again in 2000. The show was also heard on WZAT, in Savannah, in 1994 and 1995.

In addition to ten amazing years at WJCU, I have also been heard on WRQK (Canton) WONE (Akron), WNCX (Cleveland), WZAT (Savannah), WIXV (Savannah), WCHY (Savannah) CNN Worldwide Radio, ESPN Radio, and many other stations, in markets such as L.A., San Fran, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit, St. Louis, Columbus, etc, the result of working for various radio networks, for several years. My voice has been heard in 47 states. I have conducted interviews with artists such as Ace Frehley (Kiss), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister), Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Geoff Tate (Queewnsryche), bobby Blitz (Overkill), Rik Emmett (Triumph), Dream Theater, Pete Way and Paul Chapman(UFO), and hundreds of others. See the interviews and articles page, to check out some of my interviews.

I was released the day before WRQK was taken over by new owners. I was rated #1 the very next day. The day after I was released,
the ratings from the Fall 2006 book were released.

I was rated #1 in the station's target audience of males 18-49 and also rated #1 with males 18-34. I was rated #2 (or tied for #2) with persons 18-34, persons 18-49, persons 25-49, males 25-49 and men 12-24. I was rated #4 with males 35-64 and with women 18-49.

My program "Local Licks" was a huge boost to the local music scene and my metal program "The Basement" was one of a kind in the area. I recorded and broadcast over 50 local concert recordings, while at WRQK, something unheard of. I interviewed national recording artists such as Def Leppard's Phil Collen, Judas Priest's Rob Halford, Collective Soul's Dean Roland, Queensryche's Geoff Tate, and many others.

I can now be heard, on the DeLuca In The Morning show, on WDJQ. Scroll up for some audio.
