Hi. I’m JP. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been rockin’ and rollin’ the radio waves for over 20 years. The top thing that I’ve noticed about growing older is that everything starts reminding you of something. Both good and bad, but there's always a link to that memory --- and nothing does it more than music. When I’m not preoccupied with consuming delicious IPAs, you’ll find me either, 1.) Taking a nap, or 2.) Rockin’ from 3-7 every weekday. Crank it up!
