It has.  But I’m not old!  I’m experienced.  It started in college at Colorado Sate’s student station,  90.5 KCSU.  I didn’t know it at the time but this was all the “college” I really needed. I started in state-of-the-art facilities after a great flood (and an amazing insurance policy) wiped out the existing student station. I was handed a brand new copy of this new software called “Cool Edit Pro 2.0” and told to learn it and start doing production if I wanted.  I was hooked.  I never had to pick up a razor blade and cut a single piece of tape.

I got my first paid gig as a board-op for the Avs and Nugs in Denver.  I’ve long said this is a job everyone who wants to be live on the radio should do at some point.  Nothing teaches you show flow, timing, and show control like this.  Onto Boulder for my first full-time job…
