CJ's Bio
LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT ME: I'm a closet WHAM fan.....and I even know the name of "THE OTHER GUY".....Hey, everyone has their guilty pleasures. If you don't know who WHAM is go ask your Mom or Dad. A close #2 is that I can't spell to save my life.

MOST ANNOYING HABIT: I chew my finger nails. Wish I could quite, not even a nervous habit....I just do it. A close #2 is that I can't spell to save my life.

HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO BE A DJ: I think I've been through this before but I'm pretty sure it's a fact of my love of music. When I was a kid I used to have my boom box everywhere which in turn led my dad to dub the boom box my "LIFE SUPPORT".

WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING IF YOU WEREN'T ON THE RADIO: I often joke about running the drive through window at a fast food place but to be semi serious I don't know. Radio has been a very cool experience and I always meet really cool people. I'm going to guess I would be selling used cars. So, remember what I look like because someday I might need your business!

THE STUPIDEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE: I can't decide if it's waving at that girl in the lunchroom that I thought was waving at me, only to realize it was someone behind me. It might have been the time I went into the womens bathroom accidentally at the McDonalds in Fort Dodge. When my mom came in to tell me I was in the wrong place I told her she was in the wrong room...she proceeded to correct me. There was also a nasty rash of vandalism around my home town one summer. I might have known more about that than I should have.

FAVORITE KISS 107 FM MOMENT: Actually, I have many. Usually they happen on the 15th and 30th of every month! Seriously though, probably some of the most fun I have had working for KISS has been the 4th of July Parades in West Des Moines when everyone busts out the water guns. It's a bummer working on holidays but that really makes it much more tolerable. By the way, if we soaked your Grandma last year, we're sorry.

RADIO BACKGROUND: I've been at KISS 107FM long enough now that I believe the statute of limitations has expired on having to mention the other stations. I will say this, one of them was a twangy country station that did a lot of funeral announcements and market reports in north west Iowa (I'm so embarassed by my time there I don't even want to mention that it was Sheldon, IA) on another station I played Big Band music (hometown station in Humboldt, it was my "BREAK" into commercial radio). It was cool. Thankfully I escaped.

Is it the next pet for Austin Powers?

Those crazy people working in genetics come up with some crazy stuff. I don't know what part freaks me out the most, the fact that these chickens don't have feathers or if it's the wierd red tint they have. I could say a whole lot of obnoxious stuff here but I think I'll leave that up to you.

Is your lunch safe?

So there's a fridge in the company break room. Do you have someone in the office that always eats other peoples food? There are a couple of solutions to this problem including sandwiches made from cat food...those are always tasty. I have a couple of other ideas but don't want to get into trouble. This however is clever, almost like a military design. You know, a little deception should protect it...unless there is a do gooder in the office that likes to keep the fridge clean.



Inset food and you have this.



It would be interesting to see if it actually looks very believeable up close but it's funny all the same.
Marketing...we're hit with it everyday!

Everyday we are bombarded with marketing. Buy these shoes, drink this pop, go to this gym...blah, blah. What are the differences in marketing approaches? If you are a marketing major, you'll probably be more entertained by this than people in no marketing related fields but I thought it was an interesting explenation. I wish I would have had it presented this way when I was taking my marketing classes in school.

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to
her and say: "I am very rich.

"Marry me!" - That's Direct Marketing..."


2. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a

gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and

pointing at you says: "He's very rich.

"Marry him." -That's Advertising..."


3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to
her and get her telephone number. The next day, you
call and say: "Hi, I'm very rich.
"Marry me - That's Telemarketing..."


4. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. You get up
and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour
her a drink, you open the door (of the car)"Marry Me?" - That's Public Relations..."


5. You're at a party and see gorgeous girl. She walks
up to you and says:"You are very rich!
"Can you marry ! me?" - That's Brand Recognition..."


6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to
her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" She gives you
a nice hard slap on your face. - "That's Customer Feedback..."


7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to
her and say: "I am very rich. Marry me!" And she
introduces you to her husband. - "That's demand and supply gap..."


8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to
her and before you say anything, another person come
and tell her: "I'm rich. Will you marry me?" and she
goes with him - "That's competition eating into your market share..."


9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to
her and before you say: "I'm rich, Marry me!" your
wife arrives. - "That's restriction for entering new markets..."
