BIG D joins Country WSIX-FM (The BIG 98) Nashville for afternoons, weekdays from 3-7pm, effective immediately. He's inbound to iHeartMedia Nashville from co-owned KWNR-FM (95.5 The Bull) Las Vegas where he most recently served as a Program Director and afternoon air personality. He began his career at KCLD-FM in St. Cloud, MN and is a graduate of Brown College in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"It's an absolute honor to accept a job in Country radio, working in the Country music capital for the iHeartCountry Flagship station, The BIG 98," said BIG D. "This is an opportunity I've worked my entire career for and I'm thankful to iHeartMedia for giving me the chance to join one of the top market-leading brands. My family and I can't wait to call Nashville home."

"BIG D is an absolute pro on all levels and Nashville is going to love him as much as we do," said iHeartMedia Nashville Senior VP/Programming Gator Harrison. "Plus his name is BIG, BIG D on The BIG 98 -- nothing makes more sense than that. Now we have to find the perfect partner and producer for BIG D. If interested, listeners can help me get to know them by applying."
