About Paul

Go find one of my teachers from 4th or 5th grade and tell them, "Paul grew up and went into radio." I can pretty much guarantee their response would be, "Yeah... that sounds about right."

In late 2026, I'll celebrate 23 years in radio. I've wanted to do this since I was a little kid, and somehow, after more than two decades of actually doing it, I still have that "Wow I get to be on the RADIO!" attitude.

And you can hear it.

Whether I'm recording an ad or hosting a radio show, you're going to hear the passion in my voice. I'm not trying to sound like "RADIO GUY." I'm just me.

For my listeners, I'm that warm, friendly next-door neighbor they actually WANT to hear from. I talk about what matters to them... WHATEVER that happens to be. I mix in laughs, life, random observations, what's happening locally and, because apparently I can't help myself, food.

Seriously. Food is probably going to come up.

Whatever I've talked about that day, though, I can pretty much guarantee somebody listening has laughed before my show is over. And there's a pretty good chance I've made fun of myself at least once along the way.

I Sound Like I Belong There

Something else that's really important to me: I don't want to sound like some guy sitting hundreds or thousands of miles away reading liner cards about a town he's never heard of.

I go out of my way to learn the communities I'm broadcasting to — the names, the places, the weird little local things, the pronunciations and the idiosyncrasies that make a place HOME. I want somebody listening to me to feel like I belong on THEIR radio station.

And apparently that works.

References? I Can Do Better.

Potential radio station employers usually ask an on-air host for professional references.

I can do you one better.

I've got references from LISTENERS.

How many radio DJs can offer you those?

What Can I Do For Your Station?

People also ask me what I can do for their station and what I charge. The answer is: let's talk about what you actually NEED.

I don't have some giant one-size-fits-all rate card.

• VT a shift but don't need me voicing spots? Great.
• VT a shift, voice and produce spots AND help with social media? Great.
• All of that plus some help with the website? Let's talk.

I'm open to possibilities because I'm not looking to collect a giant list of freelance clients just so I can say I have them.

I'm looking for QUALITY relationships with stations where I can actually contribute something.
