Today would have been my dad’s 86th birthday.

In this short bonus episode, I share a few memories from our basement on Brookline Street. N-gauge trains. A stool next to the layout. The first piece of gear he trusted me to operate. And the day I ignored his warning and shattered the rear hatch glass on my ’87 Blazer.

My dad believed in encouragement. He warned you when you were heading for disaster. Then he let you learn the lesson.

This one’s about mentorship, responsibility, and the quiet strength of a steady man.

Before podcasts.
Before studios.
Before the camera.

There was a BMX bike.

In this episode, I talk about growing up inside BMX Freestyle culture not as a spectator, but as a rider. Flatland. Street. Late nights. Parking lots. Bike shops. Watching real professionals up close and learning, quickly, where I stood.

BMX taught me discipline without applause, humility in the presence of mastery, and how to recognize moments that mattered before anyone labeled them as history. BMX media pioneers like Windy Osborn, Mike Daily, Mark Eaton, Eddie Roman and Spike Jonze were the true inspirations for where I eventually went in my career.

Standing in a field in Oklahoma in 1993 at Mat Hoffman’s ramp, camera in hand, it finally clicked. BMX wasn’t just something I rode. It was the reason I studied journalism. The reason radio felt natural. The reason TV and media production didn’t intimidate me.

This episode is about roots. About knowing where you came from. And about how a teenage obsession with BMX quietly shaped a lifetime in media.

If you rode, you’ll recognize this story.
If you didn’t, you’ll understand why it still matters.

Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket was five years old, and from the outside it already felt different.

This is an off-the-cuff monologue about how I went from listener to employee, starting in promotions, working remotes, and eventually moving into engineering while everyone chased the same full-time job that barely paid thirty grand a year.

It’s a snapshot of a very specific moment in time.
The promotions grind.
The old-guard engineers.
The pressure to impress the chief.
The shows, the voices, and the culture that made people stick around long after the math stopped making sense.

This isn’t a polished radio essay.
It’s a firsthand memory from inside the building.

If you worked at The Ticket, or listened closely back then, you’ll recognize this immediately.
