Listen to Big D and Bubba weekdays from 5am-10am on Froggy MKE.

 

Big D 

I started in radio when I was 14 years old at a 1000-watt Christian radio station in Cookeville, Tenn. By the age of 17, I hosted my first talk show, which led me to doing mornings on an oldies station in the same city.

My first country radio experience was when I was 19 in Billings, Montana, where I fell in love with the country lifestyle.

I also met my wife Kathy in Billings. We have two sons, Zak and Gunner.

Something that you may be surprised to learn; In high school I was an Exchange Student, and spent time in Russia…before the wall fell….when it was still Communist! Talk about crazy! Seeing that, and the way that the poor people of Russia lived and suffered under that regime really helps solidify my love for the Good ‘Ol USA.

I am also an Instrument Rated Private Airplane Pilot, and a big aviation buff, you can usually find me tinkering around my hangar messing with the plane when I’m not on the radio.

 

Bubba 

I was 14 years old when I started working as a late, late, late night weekend dj at the local radio station in my hometown of Houma, La.  Eventually, I got moved up to overnights, then nights before taking off on life’s grand adventure.

Ever the nomad at heart, I moved to the island of Guam after high school and I used my job in radio to travel extensively. Eventually, I got homesick and returned to the U.S.

Some of the other cities on my pre-morning show radio resume’, are: New Orleans, Nashville, Miami, Saginaw, Reno/Tahoe, Lafayette, Tokyo, Detroit, and El Paso. I also had radio stints in various formats. Everything from Talk Radio to Hip-Hop, Top 40, Rock, & Classic Rock.

I have three children, Olivia, Ava, and Frank.

A few of the things that I’ve been into over the years are baseball/softball, surfing, soccer, skateboarding, video games, VR, scuba diving, and I have spent several years as a volunteer Firefighter.

I LOVE to fish…like, I REEEEEALLY love to fish…lol…  I also enjoy having a freezer full of wild game.

Besides country, I am also a huge fan of Frank Sinatra, Island Reggae, and Christian Rap. I’m a self professed “car-nerd” who uses free time to drive anything I can get behind the wheel of…on AND off-road.   Oh, and, I also fly airplanes as a private pilot.

I met Big D in July of 1996 in Baton Rouge, and by December 16^th, we were doing our first Big D & Bubba show together.
