From being 16 and cold e-mailing every radio station in a 50 mile radius of his parents house, to stops in New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Tennessee there was never a doubt about what Deej was going to do. Not because he was great at it, but mostly because he liked free concert tickets and yelling cringe dad jokes into microphones. After 10 years in radio, he thinks he might have finally gotten decent at this thing.

When he’s not behind a microphone Deej is busy watching endless European soccer and Formula 1 racing. As a reality TV junkie, he’s sent in a casting video for both Big Brother and Survivor twice a year for the past 8 years and says producers are being biased against him because he’s pale and not attractive. Everyone else here on staff doesn’t have the heart to tell him it’s just because of his personality.

He lives with his way out of his league girlfriend Amanda and 2 cats named Toaster and Strudel.
