Well, today is/was my last day on the Bear. As many of you know, I wasn't just the afternoon guy on 92.9 The Bear, I was also the Program Director of the Bear as well as News/Talk 590 WVLK. And, I was Operation's Director of the cluster. While my departure may be a surprise to many of you, it was not to me. I have known that this would be my last day for a few weeks. My departure from Cumulus was an amicable one and while I am not at liberty to discuss the details...I can tell you that I enjoyed every day of my job. Getting to work with some of the hardest working most talented people in the business has been a pleasure.
As for my future plans, I have none at the moment...at least not professionally anyway. I plan to enjoy my son's wedding next week. As well as the houseful of people we are going to have over the holidays. If I counted correctly, there will be 18 people spending the night Christmas Eve at the Casa De John. Some will be spending several days and some just that night. It should be a ton of fun. After the holidays I am planning on a little decompression time and then to seriously consider what my next career step will be. Business ownership is something I have been considering for a long time. The right business opportunity has just not presented itself yet.
More to come, soon...
I wish all of you the happiest of holidays!
