Ike has been in radio since 1973.  While listening to WAEB, Allentown, one night, he called the DJ on the air and asked, “ How do I become a DJ?”  
It just so happened that the DJ was looking for people to help run WMUH, Mulhenberg College’s Radio station, while the students were on Christmas and Thanksgiving break.
Learning the ins and outs, Ike got his first break and was on the air.

After doing that for a few months, it was on to WKTC, Twin County Cable TV, where he did a Saturday afternoon show, playing the Top 40 hits.

In 1976, Ike landed a job at WKAP, where he did weekends and fill-ins for what he calls his first real job in radio. He stayed there for a little over a year and then came his big break.  Ike sent an aircheck to his favorite radio station in Philadelphia, WIFI-92.   He was hired within a few weeks, while still in college at East Stroudsburg University.

“WIFI-92 was my favorite station and I was living the dream.  To work in the 3rd largest market at the time, was quite a trip.”
At WIFI-92, Ike did weekends, fill-ins, and even did a full-time stint working from 10pm to 2 am.

Leaving WIFI-92 in the summer of 1977, Ike immediately found a job at WAEB, Allentown, where he stayed for nearly 20 years.  He worked weekends and fills-ins and also played records at the George Washington Motor Lodge in Whitehall on Wednesday Nights.

In 1999, Ike was asked to be a DJ on the “Legends Weekend” at Oldies 99 in Easton.  He stayed at Oldies until it changed format in 2001.

In 2016, Ike was hired at Penns Peak Radio, where he did fill-ins and hosted an Oldies Show on Tuesday Nights for nearly 3 years.

Besides his radio career, Ike also taught English and Public Speaking for 35 years at Lehighton Area High School.  He also coached baseball for 24 years.
