Radio was a calling for Joe. Literally. His broadcast career began in 1982, in the small southeast Texas town of Nederland. The phone in his high school journalism class rang. The teacher was out of the room at the moment, so Joe reached for the phone. “Hey, you wanna be on the radio?” the voice on the phone asked.

Unbeknownst to Joe at that moment, on the other end of that phone line was a 30-year-plus career in broadcast journalism.

Calling was a local radio station program director in need of free help. Joe jumped at the chance. For most people, opportunity knocks. In Joe’s case, it called. And while his initial introduction to radio was entirely unexpected, Joe's ascension to his level of professional success is quite deliberate and the result of three decades of thoughtful and creative performances on award-winning radio stations across the country.
