I started with WNPQ in 2001 doing the weekend overnight shift, but I'm probably best known for and spent the longest time being "Ed in the Afternoon". I've been married to my wonderful wife, TammyJo, for 19 years and we have three sons, Aaron (14), Nathan (9) and Jacob (7). Yes I have a teen now. Oh, joy! I've wanted to work in radio for as long as I can remember. As early as four or five years old, I'd run around the house with a cassette tape recorder (kids, ask your parents if you don't know...) and tape Mom, Dad, the dog, whomever... Now fast forward from that. After I graduated, I went to broadcasting school in Florida and then got a job in... RETAIL! Ten years later I got my first job in radio, here at WNPQ. I guess persistence really does pay off. Never let go of your dreams! In my spare time I'm usually doing something with my kids, doing weekend cooking and I'm also an Elder in my church, High Street Christian Church in downtown Akron.
