It was 40 years ago today that a young 18 year old graduate of the Bob Layton/CHIT School of Broadcasting loaded up 2 hockey duffel bags of clothes and various sundries and hopped a Greyhound to Dawson Creek, BC to work at CJDC/CHET Radio and TV.
The beginning of a career I wanted to do since I was 13 listening to the CHED Good Guys. I thought “What a fun job”
It was.
Many stories that a lot of my FB friends were a part of. I lived in 3 different provinces and made many lifelong friends.
I’m proud to say I lived out my dream career.
Not sure I have 40 years left but I know the adventure will continue in some form or another.
As a long time PD and good friend of mine used to say, “Shooter!! Keep those needles dancin’!”

Hey Michael, thanks for checking in. Yes, I’m great. After putting my heart and soul into helping MY 92.1 & 104.9 The Wolf garner some of the best ratings in a while, I felt it was time to take a break. It’s not the end but a different road. If I get another job in radio, that would be great. I love the business. If not, I know I’ve reached every single goal I set out to do. I’ve learned from some of the best and worked alongside many of my idols I listened to while growing up in Edmonton. No regrets! Congrats on your new venture and good luck! I’ll keep in touch!
