Joe is an enthusiastic young talent in radio who is living the dream as a personality on his favorite station, WQMX! Joe got his start in college serving as the Production Director for the University of Akron's Z88, and his love for live and local radio has since skyrocketed. He was brought on as an intern for RCRG in 2022 working as a weekend jock and member of the street team in promotions until landing the overnight position on WQMX.
Joe is a lifelong local to the Akron/Canton area. Outside of the studio, he has a love for boating, fishing, disc golf, and off-roading. He is the proud owner of a classic American muscle car, and the toughest decision he faces on a sunny day is whether to drive his Chevy or ride his motorcycle. Fun fact: Joe LOVES grape flavor.
Joe strives to make a connection with his audience and is authentically himself in any setting. Country music holds a special place in his heart, and he relishes being at concerts and community events engaging with listeners and having a great time!
Oftentimes, for me, it's safety second. I could do a much better job at preserving and protecting myself in many a setting, and today I was taught a lesson. I'll spare you the details, but I nipped myself with my angle grinder cutoff wheel and had a pretty serious wound. I'm okay, and my finger is too, but it sure freaked me out. After a visit to the hospital, there's nothing left now but to…

There's a full moon coming tonight, and it's the Harvest Moon. Not only that, but this is another supermoon. What's more, this occurrence will also feature a partial lunar eclipse! It seems we have had a lot of special full moons this year, and I'm loving them. Hopefully, you'll be able to get a good look at tonight's, which should peak sometime after 9 PM (Tuesday).

This upcoming Thursday isn't your typical weekday... It's our special Happy Thursday show with Kelsey Hart at the Dusty Armadillo. It's hard to believe that tickets for this show are still available- I mean, they're just $10! It's for charity, too. Proceeds from this event go towards WQMX's Bosom Buddies, which helps to provide free mammograms for those in our community who can't afford them. Buy your tickets now: Happy Thursday with Kelsey Hart It's…

Gas is cheap right now! Well, maybe it's not exactly cheap, but it is a whole lot better than it has been anytime recently. You may know that a slightly different, cleaner-burning type of gas is used in the summertime as opposed to the colder seasons. The winter gas blend is less expensive, and I suspect the local stations just made the switch after Labor Day. There's also the speculation that this election season we…

If you follow along with my daily blogs here on the WQMX website, you'll know I occasionally like to try my hand at drawing. With an array of dry erase markers, I have a lot of fun periodically putting some sort of picture on our studio whiteboard. Well, here's the latest! This deer replaces the muddy farm truck I had up for a good while, and I'm excited to have something fresh. I think I'll…

October 5th, it's our 6th annual WQMX 5-Kay, and we'd love for you to be there! If you've been before, you know it's a great opportunity to get out in the fall air and enjoy some morning time cardio. No matter what pace you go, everyone is welcome to participate, and we've got two options. There's the 1 mile walk or the 3.1 mile run. It's in support of WQMX's Bosom Buddies, providing free mammograms…

It's been a long time coming, but I think my Blazer is right about where I want it to be, aesthetically. It started with the grille, then headlights, door rain guards, wheels and tires, taillight covers, and mudflaps. I've got some stickers, magnets, an antenna ball, a license plate frame on the rear, and my Miami Dolphins plate on the front. I've done a bunch of personalization on my daily driver, and this most recent…

There's a new movie that was announced this week, and I'm sure you have some level of familiarity with the subject matter. It's called A Minecraft Movie, inspired by the cultural phenomenon that is the video game. I've been playing Minecraft since the start, back when the free version on PC was all the rave in my middle school classroom. Shortly after that, in 2012, the game came out for the Xbox 360. That's when…

With the short holiday week many of us are fortunate to be amidst, here we are at Thursday already! You know what that means; it's time for another top ten list. I was coming into the station one recent night when I saw a little critter scurrying about- a skunk! I said, "what's up buddy" and went in the building, and haven't seen it since. I'm keeping an eye out, though, as I love spotting…

If you're like me, these past few months you've been bombarded with texts from political campaigns that are totally unsolicited. Over and over again, I block the sender and report it as junk to my carrier, but they just keep coming in. And the tone that these messages are taking is just insane; like, "Robert, you must do more to help...." I'm sorry, what?! You're not asking, but commanding me to donate? I've gotten about…

That what it was about this weekend. It was a good time! It sure was great to have an extra weekend day. I had some things to take care of, like mowing the lawn, but I also had the time to do some more enjoyable activities. One highlight was when I caught a fish out on my kayak in the early morning. I rode around in my El Camino, took Hank on a nice walk,…

It's a Holiday weekend for many of us with Labor Day coming up on Monday. That's the unofficial end of summertime and a great opportunity to get together with friends and family for some fun. So... what do you have planned? I don't have much going on, myself. My uncle is coming up from Texas to visit my Mom, so I'll surely be over at her place to see them. Saturday, there's the Akron Pizza…

It's been just under a week since Lainey Wilson's new album, Whirlwind, came out. If you haven't had the chance to listen through, take my word- it's excellent! It contains some of her greatest work yet. So, as it stands, it seems like an appropriate moment to do a top ten list on her entire collection. Lainey hardly has a song I don't like, and here's my favorites! 10. Grease 9. Country's Cool Again 8.…
