WKIS, Miami (Country)
APD/Evenings, 7pm-Midnight
I start the most exciting phase of my career on January 10, 2008! We have big plans for the evening show on Kiss Country -- and for my role as Assistant Program Director of this heritage station. I'm looking forward to working for and learning from one of the most talented programmers around, Ken Boesen.

WSNA, Memphis (Rhythmic AC)
Morning Show host, 5am-10am
Achieved some of the greatest growth in my career on both creative and skill set levels at Snap! 94.1 as co-host--later solo host--of The Morning Snap! with Dani Rice & Greg Valentine. It was a pleasure working for Bill Pasha (Entercom), Brad Carson (PD), Paco Lopez (APD/MD), and Clint Sly (GM).

WWMX, Baltimore (Hot AC)
Afternoon Drive, 2pm-7pm
Rejoined CBS Radio Baltimore for Afternoons at Mix 106.5. Juiced the PM Drive numbers, then took on the challenge of rebuilding a decimated Night Show. Mission accomplished: 25-54 numbers nearly doubled! Performed de facto APD duties for Dave Labrozzi (VP/Prog), Jason Kidd (PD), and Josh Medlock (PD).

WLAN, Lancaster (CHR)
Morning Show host, 5:30am-9am
Coach and Quarterback of the Morning Rush with Greg and Liz. Designed and called the plays--with the help of the team. Spread the ball around to make sure we took advantage of everybody's star talents. Brought fun (and ratings!) back to morning drive at FM97. PDs Michael McCoy and JT Bosch.

WIOQ, Philadelphia (CHR)
Weekends and Fill
Highlights include extensive fill-in for PM Drive--and helping Q102 battle a new challenger (Wired 96.5). Thanks to PD Todd Shannon and APD Marian Newsome-McAdam for asking me to come on board. And Todd and Marian for their encouragement (along with Brian Check) to take on my next challenge, Mornings at FM97.

WQAL, Cleveland (Hot AC)
Afternoon
Drive, 3pm-7pm
Achieved huge female numbers in the face of strong competition. My many inspirations assisted PD Allan Fee in defining the day-to-day sound of Q104. Established an eNewsletter (Afternoon Insider), and an annual concert (Greg Valentine's Rock and Romance). All that, and a great GM, Chris Maduri.

KZQZ, San Francisco
(CHR)
Swing, all dayparts
Props to
PD Casey Keating, one of the true gentlemen of our business. I worked
against him in Seattle, and for him in SF. I liked him in
both cities! It was exciting to perform this utility role for Z95.7 in such a competitive
situation. You don't get many chances in this biz to be part of a three-way
CHR battle.

KCMG, Los Angeles
(Jammin' Oldies)
Afternoon Drive, 3pm-8pm
Five hours
of airtime daily as "Greg Marino" on the flagship station of
the Jammin' Oldies format--a station that billed $38 million a year. It
was huge! Was the guy on-the-air the day
Mega 100 flipped frequencies to 92.3 (5pm, 6/30/00). My thanks
to Don Parker and Marco Radlovic for bringing me there.

WXYV,
Baltimore (CHR)
Afternoon Drive, 2pm-6pm
Part of the
crew that signed on 102.7 XYV (later B102.7). This was an amazing place
to be, and we all knew it at the time. Worked for Dr. Dave Ferguson and Bill Pasha, and with Albie Dee, and Jason Kidd.
Official guest-host for Albie's morning show, working with that
cast frequently.

WAMG,
Milwaukee (Rhythmic AC)
Morning Show host, 6am-10am
Magic 103.7 was a tremendous learning experience. There's no doubt the show -- featuring co-host Freddi Hammer -- sounded much better than it's ratings. Worked for Brian Kelly, an awesome guy and talented PD, who had the challenging job of programming a station and format that was ahead of its time.

KUBE, Seattle (CHR)
Afternoon Drive, 2pm-6pm
Much of
what I do today is the stuff we learned at this dominant station. Taking KUBE 93 "rhythmic," beating
KPLZ in one book, and knocking them out of the format a year later, is
a story I'll never get tired of telling. Worked my way up to Afternoons
from Overnights, for PDs Bob Case, Mike Tierney, and Tom Hutyler.
