James's Story
Wow... what a journey.
After high school, I had no idea what I really wanted in life. Tried college, thinking that I wanted to teach but... no.
Worked at the Seymour Highway Electric Company and then Madison's for four years as a DJ and that's how I fell into radio. "Big Jim" Russell of KLUR was in the club one night, asked me if I wanted a job and the next thing I knew, 27 years in the business had piled up.

hosted the 1995 All-Star Game.
After that, on to Abilene to work for Cumulus Broadcasting (couldn't stay out of the biz) as Program Director at a Classic Rock Radio Station for seven years... and spent time as a drummer for several rock bands.
The traveling bug bit hard in 2006 and I moved to Auckland, New Zealand for a year, living with friends and though it's beautiful, it wasn't home.
I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma now and it's not a bad place. The music scene is fantastic, the weather is good and while it takes a bit to get used to 3.2 beer... I've learned to adjust.
Now, how are you?
