Nickname: Over my radio career there have been many and I’m sure there are some that people call me behind my back but the ones I know of are:  Lunchbox, Shake & Blake; Shooter; Tic-Tac, A-State Blake, and more…

I began my radio career in 2004, since that time I have worked with and learned from some of the very best in the business.  I was originally in sales but only for a short time before moving on to Promotions.  It was an easy move with my experience working with some of the best concert organizers and promoters in Arkansas.   I had been involved with concerts since 2001 when I ran a local Limousine company and worked with some of the biggest names in the business.   I moved to the Chicago area for a short time, which explains my infatuation with Chicago.  Well, that and growing up watching WGN.  I graduated college in 1999 with a Marketing Degree from John Brown University after making my rounds from college to college, include Central Methodist (Near Columbia Missouri), UALR, UCA and Henderson State.  I played professional indoor soccer for a very short time and after career ending injuries, I coached for a long period of time in Arkansas with UCA, Arkansas State Soccer Association Olympic Development Team and other clubs around the area.  I graduated high from Cabot High School.  Ran track, played soccer and basketball in High School.  After all my past experiences in sports, I’m currently not that into sports unless it is the CUBS or the BEARS, and some times the BLACKHAWKS and BULLS.   I am now really big into music.  I love our great local scene here in Central Arkansas. I have always said that the only thing separating some of our local artists from the major national artists is just a little luck.  I really do believe that.  I have been lucky enough to meet a lot of bands and celebs in my few years of working in the business.  Some of those include:  Alice Cooper; Atreyu; Avenge Sevenfold; Black Stone Cherry; Blake Shelton; Blue October; Brad Paisley; Buckcherry; Bucky Covington; Buddy Jewel; Carrie Underwood; Cassandra Peterson ("Elvira, Mistress of the Dark"); Charlie Daniels; Chevelle; Chris Cagle; Chris Daughtry; Collin Ray; Danielle Harris (from Rob Zombie’s Halloween); Daughtry (the band); David Allan Coe; Deirks Bently; Earl Thomas Conley; Egypt Central; Emerson Drive; Evanescence; George Strait; Hinder; Hurt; In This Moment; Jack Blades of Night Ranger; James Otto; Jimmy Hart (The Mouth of the South); Joe Nichols; John Anderson; Josh Turner; Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th); Kat Von D; Kelly Clarkson; Kellie Pickler; Killswitch Engage; Kip Winger; Kristina Klebe (from Rob Zombie's Halloween); Kristy Lee Cook (American Idol); LeAnne Rimes; Leslie Easterbrook (from Police Academy and other movies); Little Big Town; Little Texas; Loretta Lynn; Luke Bryan; Martina McBride; Michael Grave (from the Misfits); Michelle Branch; Pat Green; Phil Stacy (American Idol); Ralphie May; Rascal Flatts; Reba McIntyre; Red; Sevendust; Skillet; Ted Nugent; Theory of a Deadman; Three Days Grace; Tommy Shaw of Styx; Tracy Lawrence; Vinnie Paul (Pantera and HellYeah) and let’s stop there and just say "and more" because there are a lot more.  I just got tired of looking through pictures of who I have met.  I do have a lot of interesting stories about MOST of these.  If you want to know more about me, just ask.  I’m pretty much an open book, you can find out almost anything about me on my Facebook and MySpace pages.  

 

Work, I’m a workaholic.  When I am not working or helping with local concerts and events, I like to spend time with my kids doing pretty much anything they want to do..
