John started at WVXU in the spring of 1974, then as an intern at WKRC-TV the next October, floor-directing Bowling for Dollars and The Nick Clooney Show. Started Q102 and 55KRC in March of 1975 doing anything they’d let him. He worked every on-air shift at 55KRC,and was production director, traffic-continuity director, music director, engineer, traffic reporter and assistant PD before he left Taft in July of 1983 for WLW. John got his pilot licenses in 1985 and accumulated 12,000 hours until the end of 2004. John reported the traffic from a studio until January of 2006, while filling-in for Jim Scott. In 2006, John teamed for a year with Brian Thomas in the morning on 55KRC. From the mid 90s until they grounded the copter, John reported the traffic for all eight Clear Channel Radio Stations, WCIN and Channel 12, many of the reports “live,” and flew the helicopter by himself. John doesn’t know of any other pilot-reporters who carried that load. John is now the Director of the Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.
