Biography<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hi I’m John! I\u2019m very passionate about college radio even after graduation. I am excited to continue working with WMUL after graduating from Marshall so I can learn new skills and keep making valuable content for the station. I am currently serving as music director and even though I do not have much experience it is fun learning along the way. I am a big fan of sports and my favorite teams are the Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Reds, New York Rangers, Indiana Pacers, and the Marshall Thundering Herd. I also love WWE and currently host a wrestling podcast with Emma Johnson called Rope Break on WMUL.<\/p>\n
