Gailen in the Morning

I was born in a small town in Iowa and it was a bitterly cold night in November. Six months later, my family moved to Denver where it was also sometimes bitterly cold. I grew up as any “normal” kid would I even graduated near the top of my class from South High School. And yes I was “normal”, I figured maybe it would help me get some chicks! Either way, I was off and running! I missed the draft lottery for Vietnam by one number, so I considered myself lucky and went to college to better myself, and maybe meet some chicks! First it was Metro State, then Vocational Technical School for some broadcast engineering know how and then off into the work force and real life…..and maybe some chicks! My first gig was running the control board and being the producer for a then unknown talk show host named Alan Berg. From there I was off to Aspen for an extended stay on the slopes and the radio. Upon regaining some sanity, I moved back to Denver and rode the airwaves on and off for the next 15 years. During that time I also tried my hand at running several small businesses including Voice Coaching, Concert Promoting and a very cool Limousine service too. And yes, I also met some chicks, which I now refer to as ex-wives. So now everything I had was gone, and I started over again doing what I knew best…..Radio!! I got a part time gig at KYGO in Denver and started the rebuilding process, not knowing that this was where I would meet the current and final chick in my life! So it’s been 15 years since my lovely wife Meg and I moved to Northern Colorado to live happily ever after, and so far so good! I love living in this part of the world for all the usual reasons, the mountains, the recreation, the people etc!! One of the things I’m really enjoying the most is the fact that I get to be a big part of this incredible Radio station, 101.9 KING-FM!! The people that listen to a radio station are huge part of what makes it GREAT!! So thanks! I couldn’t do it without YOU!
