Jim
grew up in Chicago, and he attended Columbia
College, where he
discovered an interest in radio. Jim entered Midwestern
Broadcasting
School and upon
graduation, his first radio
job took him to WCHI – Chillicothe, Ohio. Jim had one goal in mind – to make it
back to Chicago radio! In 1975 (as Captain Whammo on WDHF/WMET - Chicago) he
was voted one of the Top 4 DJs in America by Billboard Magazine!
On November 5, 1978
through a series of God-ordained circumstances, Jim accepted Jesus
as personal savior as he cried out for forgiveness of his sins. In 1981, God
opened a door for Jim to begin his Christian radio ministry. He has worked at
WCRM – Dundee, IL; WCFL – Chicago (when it was a Christian station for a time);
WAYJ – Ft. Myers, FL; World Harvest Radio WHME – South Bend, IN; and now since
1998 as Morning Host at Praise FM (WSRX)
in Naples, FL.
In February 2006 Jim
started the world’s first Christian Oldies program, “Classic Christian Gold.”
The program airs on Branch FM each week and on a multitude of Christian radio
stations worldwide! Through this ministry he shares Jesus in Africa, Kenya, New
Zealand, the Phillipines, France, the UK, Alaska, Canada, Puerto Rico, Haiti and
the U.S.A.
Jim’s goal in life is very
simple – “To live in peace – and share Jesus”! Amen!
