DJ MC Tuesdays, 9AM

DJ MC fell in love with radio when he got involved with it as a teenager. He’s enthusiastic to help CHIRP bring that excitement and innovation back to the airwaves. He is an adult-onset athlete who has competed in triathlons, running races, and swim meets around the world—mostly for the camaraderie. He’s also an imperfect practitioner of yoga and meditation. His love of photography is second only to his love of music. Recently, he quit the corporate world and is working on opening his own business.
