Tell us a little about yourself
People ask me which is your first name and which is your last name,
since both Daniel and Zachary can be either first or last names! No my
parents did not plan that. Zachary wasn't a first name back in the
50's.
I love mornings. The earlier, the better. So starting the morning wake
up call at 4 a.m. fits me just fine.
I like both sides of radio ... the on-air work / announcing and the
technical work / fixing the equipment and computer programming. |

Bob think of a clever question for this one: (I
understand you once had lunch with Marconi)
I've worked in radio from the days when you used a grease pencil and
special scotch tape to edit mylar tape. You had to take the
transmitter readings every 30 minutes and there was no such thing as
satellite. It wasn't 'Classic Christian Radio'. That's just what we
played! |
|
Was there someone who was influential in leading
you to Christ?
Chris, a dorm mate at college, and Dave Burnham, the pastor of the
church at college. |
|
Who would you most like to have coffee with?
My wife, Sharylee. Put an ice cube in her coffee, but make sure mine
is steaming HOT! |
|
Do you have any hidden talents?
I play piano. I enjoy baking bread (love that smell), and I like
working in the garden. |

Tell us about your first experience in radio:
In junior high, I would use a spoon as a pretend microphone and spin
45’s in my bedroom. I would pretend to be the DJ on KQV the local
top 40 station in Pittsburgh. My first time on the air was with a
campus radio station at the University of Akron. 10 watts! Wow! |
|
What food do you always have to have in the
house?
Peanut Butter! I see Bob, the station manager, likes PB too! |
|
What is your life's passion?
Missions technical support projects. |
|
Tell us about your family:

my wife there (although she is from Minnesota). We have three
daughters, Adora, Arlynn and Ava. |
|
Who do people say you most resemble?
A Jewish rabbi. Must be the red beard. |
