[BC] How we got our first break in radio....

[Kevin Trueblood]

Being the tender young age of 27, I'm now into my 12th year in radio.

I grew up in Galesburg, IL where Knox College's radio station (WVKC) offered 
their station to high school students for the summer.  That was the first 
time I hit the airwaves, and I was hooked.  My high school offered a 
mentorship program that got me into a group of stations in town to get 
coffee and board op.  After a few months they hired me on.  I spent the next 
few years learning from some of the best in the business and they made me OM 
and PD of 4 stations right out of college.

I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I've been blessed to have great 
mentors along the way with lots of patience and the willingness to teach me 
the right way to do things.  Radio is a wonderful and unique industry and I 
wouldn't trade my experiences for anything.  I look forward to one day being 
able to mentor someone the way I was...
