Name:
Buck Head
Current Title/Position/Company:
Buck Head Show/ Morning Host KKRZ/ Portland Oregon/ Clear Channel
How did you get your start in radio?
At the age of Seventeen, I started a life changing internship under BJ Harris and Dominic Theodore (truly father figures) at WFLZ in Tampa, FL. From washing vans to running boards to finally getting the big break, everyone at WFLZ from Kane to MJ made me the Talent I am today.
What are your career goals?
I will be working hard to maintain great ratings as one of Portland’s Top morning shows as well as working on syndication, starting an afternoon talk show and a super secret idea that everyone will experience soon.
What do you enjoy most about your work?
Laughing makes this job fun, exciting and easy. Working with an awesome team of management and co-workers is something I have learned shouldn’t be taken for granted.
What are the biggest challenges ahead for radio, from your perspective?
I worry for future talent. Big winners will be companies that believe in Talent driven local radio and educate beginners on how to show it.
...and anything else you would like to pass on.
