It’s a happy accident that I’m in radio. In college I was lucky enough to have a scholarship with the music/theater department and was studying to be a recording engineer. My dad worked for NASA making sure the astronauts could talk back to mission control, so I’ve been around sound equipment all my life. One day I visited the on campus radio station to drop off some music that I had just recorded. The manager pulled me aside and asked if I had ever considered being on the radio and I said NO! But he offered to PAY me and so… my radio career started! It’s still kinda crazy that I get paid to do something I love!
Randy’s was destined for this industry since birth. His parents were close friends in Ohio with a Radio DJ and his wife. So when he was born (as either a curse or goof – HaHa) His parents decided to name him after their friends On-Air Radio Character “Randy Jay” (his radio friend’s real name was Calvin). Then at 3 years old, his parents took him to his first concert staring George Jones & Tammy Wynette, the rest as they say is history.
With a third of his life holding down a radio gig, Dennis loves to have fun on the air and share tons of life’s experiences. When he’s off mic, he’s into photography as well as audio and visual production that has been seen and heard nation-wide. Very happily married, Dennis is graciously tolerated by his beautiful wife.

I was born in Dallas and raised the small town of Coppell, Texas. My step-dad was a horse trader, so I had my own horse at age 12 and I rode him to school a few times, when I missed the bus. I also love going to the outdoors and that’s where you’ll find me and the dogs at least a couple of times a week. I love music, of every genre. Guess it’s a good thing I got into radio at the age of 19. Follow me on Facebook or on Twitter @ImDoyleKing
