Ever since fifth grade I’ve been infatuated with radio.  I was the only one in my class listening to radio dramas from the 1930’s and 40’s, and certainly the only one scared of The Shadow.  Despite my love of radio, I was able to keep focused on my studies and graduated from Challenger elementary school.  This was my first in a series of educational achievements, as I soon graduated from middle school, high school, and even college.

While in college I studied non-human primates and worked with four chimpanzees (Washoe, Loulis, Dar, and Tatu) who communicated by using American Sign Language.  At Central Washington University I studied primatology, psychology, and anthropology, but all of my spare time was spent at the college radio station.  I hosted many shows at KCWU under the name DJ Son (get it… D-Jason…it’s o.k., no one got it).  My senior year I was promoted from volunteer to the station’s Production Director.  I also worked at the only other radio station in Ellensburg, Washington (KXLE) as a board op/weather person extraordinaire under the guise “Gus Chiggins.” 

When I graduated, I quickly found no use for my degree.  This made radio an easy choice.  I moved to Portland in August of 2007 to produce “Mark Lindsay’s Rock and Roll café,” and in addition, I now host the weekday overnight shift.  I currently live in the Hawthorne District with Laura, my girlfriend of 4 years, and Frodrick, my female pet leopard gecko.  Laura and I love Portland.  Frodrick remains undecided. 

Life’s good, man…Life’s good.
