Circa 1982... ah, the days of college radio. That's me at the mic on WTSR, the campus station of
Towson State University in Baltimore, MD. I know it's black & white and kind of grainy, but
the fact that I'm slim n' trim and have a full head of hair makes this pic one of my favorites.

So you're thinking about having me DJ/MC your event. Before handing over that responsibility, it makes sense for you to know a little bit about me, right? Here's my "resume" in a nutshell...

• Born March 22, 1962 in Pottstown, PA
• 1980 Graduate of Berkeley Springs High School - Berkeley Springs, WV
• 1984 Graduate of Towson State University - Baltimore, MD with a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications
• 1st Live DJ Gig - 1978 Sweetheart Dance at Berkeley Springs HS with my best friend Dave Williams. As budding DJ's, we worked for free -- combining our home stereo components with a few pieces of equipment borrowed from a local nightclub owner. The girls thought we were cool and the rest is history :-)
• 1st Radio Gig - 1978 at country music station WCST in Berkeley Springs. I ran the audio board during WVU football games and read announcements on "The Trading Post." Yee-Haw!!
• Broadcasting career includes WCST in Berkeley Springs, WQCM-FM in Hagerstown MD, WCVT / WTSR at Towson State in Baltimore and WQZK-FM in Keyser WV
• Quickly realized after college that there was no money in radio (with notable exceptions like Don Imus & Howard Stern), so I put my degree to work in the tourism industry...
• Served as Executive Director of the Eastern Gateway Travel Council in Harpers Ferry, WV from 1985 to 1986
• Joined The Woods Resort in Hedgesville, WV in 1986 and served as Director of Marketing until 1995.
• Since 1995 have owned and operated Morgan Awards with my parents in downtown Martinsburg, WV
• Married since 1992 to the former Stacie Bowman of Martinsburg, WV. Daughter Rebecca, born in 1994. Stacie owns and operates
  "Miss Stacie's Tumblebus", a mobile pre-school gymnastics program based in Martinsburg.

Since that first High School Sweetheart dance in 1978, I've gone on to play hundreds of live events -- from school sock hops to formal weddings for 500. Regardless of the occasion, I always try to bring a little wit n' humor and lots of enthusiasm to what I do.

Back To Top

You can tell a lot about a person by what they list as their greatest accomplishment. Mine has zero, zilch, nada to do with microphones and CD's.

Next to the two REALLY big events (wedding day and the birth of our daughter), my greatest accomplishment to date has been "going the distance"... 26.2 miles to be exact.

New York City Marathon
November 6, 1988

Crossing the finish line following the most grueling 5 hours of my life. I got passed by 9 year olds, housewives and Senior Citizens. It didn't matter... because I finished. I was wacko enough to come back and complete The Marathon again in 1989 and 1990. After three straight years though my knees said "enough!"

Today I still enjoy walking, biking and snow skiing as well as more relaxed pursuits like computer-tinkering, photography and reading up on military and nautical history (especially anything related to the Titanic!).

One thing that still gets my heart racing is West Virginia University football. My wife and I are Mountaineer season ticket holders and get to as many games as possible.

We've made consecutive trips to the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, FL -- first in 2004 (pictured above) when the Maryland Terrapins put a whoppin' on us and most recently for this year's game against Florida State. We lost that game too, but despite the disappointment, there's nothing like a day of tailgating, good friends and Mountaineer Football!!
