Hello my friends in cyber space, some of you know me and others do not. We are building a great web site. First of all I will write a biography, which will include some facts about my wife Ginny then our friend Ellen Nolan will write her biography, after those two biographies we will describe what you can expect from this soul Gospel music web site and streaming audio service. I came in to this world on August 6th in the year 1941, blind from birth because of an unusual birth defect, however this has not stopped me from having a successful life. When I was a child about 5 years old, I wanted to be a radio announcer. I graduated from high school in 1962, at that time I was discouraged by Brown instate from entering their broadcasting school because I am blind, so I did other kinds of sales work.
In the year 1972 I began my studies at the university of Minnesota, also in that year there was a very important turning point in my life, I was in the class titled introduction to broadcasting, we hade a DJ assignment, can you believe how the current of excitement flowed right threw me I was determined from that moment on to have a career in radio, and the rest is history! After that class in 1972, I worked at both university of Minnesota radio stations, also I became the announcer for the Sunday morning services at First Covenant Church, the Sunday morning service was aired on KTIS FM in Minneapolis , and radio station KICY in Nome Alaska .
Then in 1978, my life was turned around when I became interested in Black gospel music, I became the number one soul gospel announcer in Minneapolis, in both commercial and nom commercial radio stations. So, technology always moves forward, I think internet radio is great. My wife Ginny is blind and has worked as a massage therapist.
