Sonny started in radio before he was even out of high school. At 16 years old, he was working at his local AM/FM Top 40 station in the Albany, NY market. Believe it or not, this was before you could hear FM in stereo! But then, the day came that every radio station in America had been waiting for—the FCC said, 'Go stereo!' Radios with stereo were activated nationwide, and Top 40 programming started moving from the AM to the FM side of the dial. Everything, including personnel, was moving fast, and it was a great time to be in the business. For a high school kid to be on the high-profile radio station in the market was quite exciting! But, fresh out of high school, Sonny decided he needed to go out and start his own life. He applied to a radio station in the Utica, NY market and spent two years there before moving all over Upstate NY. Over the years, he has been on the airwaves in Cortland, Ithaca, Buffalo, and Binghamton and has been in The NEK since 2013.
