Charlie Derek
I am a full blooded radio geek! I still get up every morning excited about what I get to do on the air that day. Whether I'm remotely producing my morning show for Carolina, prepping for the overnight show on LRN, or lining up interviews and getting ready for remotes with Four Corners Broadcasting, I LOVE the process as much as I do the actual on air execution. Most of all, I crave being around like minded people who love doing what it takes to make a radio station sound great.
