Hired in October 2008 as an account executive for Chicago's exclusive Smooth Jazz station. A quick study, I closed my first account in six weeks, while still training. In January 2009,  I was laid off as part of Clear Channel's corporate-wide downsizing.

Hired to host and direct an ensemble cast for a daily, four-hour broadcast of new and original material at legendary Alternative station. A new experiment in commercial radio, the show was conceived as a topical comedy morning show, exclusive to Chicago and focusing on politics and pop culture. In November 2007, the ensemble was removed and I was retained as host of a new, music-intensive show until the end of my contract in August 2008.

In 2000, I was asked to join the cast of "On Q", a new, locally-produced issues and debate show for WQED (PBS). As the youngest and most liberal member of a media roundtable discussion, I gained the respect of viewers who were otherwise outside my radio stations's demographic. Our segment proved so popular, in 2003, we were spun off into our own 30-minute show, called "Off Q"

Hosted daily afternoon drive show at one of the highest-rated Alternative stations in the country. Combination politics, pop culture, local and national news, callers, and music quickly became popular. My contentious relationship with listeners and subversive humor made the show very successful within the first year. Through public appearances, live comedy shows, and contributions to other local media,  I became one of the most high-profile personalities in the market. In 2004, I was moved to mornings to replace The Howard Stern Show. I left at the end of my contract in June 2006.

Hired to host the 8-midnight show at heritage AOR outlet, then was moved to afternoon drive within a few months. The mix of high/ low-brow comedy, music and callers made the show very popular, becoming the #1 (12+) drive-time program upon my departure in December 1998.

Hosted weekend afternoon shifts from 2-7p for top-rated AOR outlet. Responsible for board operation, live announcements, call screenings, and maintenance of station logs and equipment.

Hosted weekend overnight shifts from midnight-6am for top-rated CHR outlet. Responsible for board operation, live announcements, call screenings, and maintenance of station logs and equipment.

Hired as intern for one of the highest-rated morning shows in Chicago history. During that time I was the focal point of numerous on-air segments, stunts, and on-the-scene reports. My sense of humor, spontaneity, and unflappable demeanor in those situations led to being hired in a producer capacity. I assisted in the daily operations, including (but not limited to) audio production, call screening, liaison for in-studio guests.
