Brett Here! I'm the "B" in The CB Radio Show from 6-9am every weekday. I've been in the radio world for about 7 years now and it's been a ride ever since I ripped the microphone on for the first time. When I started working in radio in high school I had no clue that I would make a career out of it... Believe it or not.... I wanted to be a dentist when I was in high school. Another path led me here and I think it was a good decision. I grew up in Ohio and moved to Kentucky in early 2013 and started working with my new peeps here at the station. They call me old man because I drive a big Cadillac and back into my parking spot.... but oh well. I'll deal
