  Hooked up with JSR in April of 96 after Brockum was absorbed by another merch giant. Was quickly able to use my experience and relationships from the merchandising world along with similar help from my future business partners to help turn JSR into one of the most exciting merch companies in the country. As we head into 2017, JSR is proud to be working with some of entertainments most important acts; Jackson Browne, CSN, Eddie Izzard, Minor League Baseball, Cartoon Network, ACDC, Pink Floyd just to name a few of our 400 plus acts Show less

WKFD WERI WHJY

• The Radio Years

  • Feb 1979 - Sep 1985

  It all began in a 500 Watt radio station in beautiful Wickford RI. Pleasant adult comtempory music and local farm reports though were short lived as I quickly moved over to and received my music education in Westerly RI. Able to jump on the air waves with a complete freeform format and my Rolling Stone R&R guide to learn every record worth listening to on WERI. This lead to a Nighttime air slot and hired as Music Director of one of the most influential AOR Radio stations in the country, WHJY. I helped launch the station in 1981 and will be forever remembered as the 2nd person to speak on its airwaves. 4 years of R&R heaven Show less
