Growing up in a music-loving household, Danny had dreams of working as a radio personality since he was 5 years old, when he received a beginners DJ Kit from Sears out of the Christmas Wish Book. Instead of losing interest in pretending to make small talk with a nonexistent audience, Danny held firm to his aspirations and landed his first real gig at age 12, deejaying and delivering news for the St. Lawrence University radio station in Canton, New York. He never looked back, he says.
In addition to his fake radio shows as a young child, Danny has been heard on G105/WDCG –
Raleigh, NC, MOViN 107.7 – Norfolk, VA, 95.5 WPLJ – New York, NY, and of course K92/WXLK in Roanoke. For 14 years, he co-hosted the award-winning “K92 Mornin’ Thang” show with Zack Jackson and Monica Brooks. During that time, they raised thousands of dollars for local charities and over $100,000 for Hurricane Katrina Relief. “It was incredibly hard to leave Roanoke,” Danny says. “But it was an easy decision to come back. It’s an honor to be joining the legendary team at Q99.”
Outside of radio, Danny loves food, wine, movies, music, and his dog, Dudley. (an American Pit Bull Terrier “foster fail). Danny is an active supporter of The Trevor Project, St. Jude’s, The Alzheimer’s Association, Hospice, Wounded Warrior Project, Muscular Dystrophy Association, and several animal rescue organizations.
