A
typical day starts with the alarm going off
at 4:25 a.m. I arrive at the station around 5 a.m.,
make a quick check for trouble spots with local police,
and get ready to deliver the first report for WBAL at
5:11 a.m. I do traffic every eleven minutes on WBAL
and at 20 and 50 minutes after the hour on 98 Rock.
The morning shift ends just before 9:00 a.m.
Most
people think I deliver traffic all day, but actually
I have a six and a half hour break between the morning
and afternoon rush hours. Between traffic stints, I
spend most of my time on my aerial photography business
and disk jockey company. Sometimes it's a round of golf,
volunteering at the kids' schools, food shopping, or
an occasional (and much-needed) nap.
Then
it's back to the radio station for a 3:30 WBAL report
followed by a 3:50 98 Rock update. The routine begins
every 11 minutes at 4 p.m. and continues until 6:22.

I'm home
by 6:50 p.m. and have the rest of the evening for dinner, coaching
the kids' sports teams, returning phone calls and catching up
with my wife, Jody, before trying to get to bed between 10 and
11 p.m.
On summer
weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day, I deliver special
resort traffic updates on WBAL. The rest of my weekend is
spent entertaining at the various parties I book throughout
the year, playing in a softball league, playing tennis, spending
time with the family, and more aerial photography. Needless
to say, I am always tired!
