Chris grew up in a small town amongst the farmlands of Central Jersey. As a child,  the radio was always a comforting companion for him and his parents on long car rides to visit family on Long Island. In college, now making long commutes in his own car, Chris became fascinated with local radio stations: these electric hubs of activity and excitement. Places where anything could happen! He fell in love with the upbeat personalities, booming voices, wild contests, invigorating morning shows and the discovery of new music everywhere.

He especially loves classic rock and his favorite bands are (but not limited to!) Queen, Van Halen, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Doors. Chris is on an unending quest for music and spends hours collecting and curating his own personal collection, much to the detriment of his bank account.
