From there I did college radio for four years while at Ithaca College (from 1995-1999). 106-VIC was the station and while at the station, I co-founded the show "Total Distortion" (which is still on the station 10+ years later). I also, interned here at Century Media back in the fall of 1998 as a college student through Ithaca's Los Angeles Program.

It is also amazing to meet others on this side of the music business that where a part of all those albums that I grew up with that have inspired me.
