"The Mountain is a great radio station and I'm beyond excited to be the one to keep making sure great things come out of those speakers. I want to thank the Audacy team of John Fullam, Mike Peterson, Dave Richards and Vince Richards, along with Alex DeMers for all of their guidance and wisdom on my path. I'm humbled and honored for this incredible opportunity. Let's do some great radio."
