He’s been a Julliard School of Music student, a recording artist for both ATCO and (currently) Path of Stone Records, and a Creative Director/Production Manager for KISS-FM in San Antonio as well as WROR and WBOS-FM in Boston.

As Program Director, John pioneered the contemporary school of classical programming for WCRB-FM in Boston in the early 90’s. He was both Program and Music Director for KidStar Interactive Media, the Seattle-based, award winning national children’s multimedia network that blazed the trail for Radio Disney.

From 2005 through 2009, as Program Director of KBPS-FM (now KQAC-FM) in Portland, Oregon, John took the radio station from average format performance (2.0 share 12+) to exceptional performance (3.5 share) while increasing on-air fundraising results by more than 100%.
