Jim took over (high
jacked) B103's
midday show in
February of 2007 and
continues to
entertain gazillions
of Long Islanders
(Several even know
his name) with the
greatest hits of the
60's and 70's during
the workday.
Jim came to Long
Island from the
smallest state in
the Union - Rhode
Island - in 2004. He
has a thing about
living on islands
because of his
admiration of Bob
Denver and coconuts.
After 17 years of on
air radio work in
Providence and
Boston, Jim left
"live" radio to
start his own
voice-over business
in 1992. You've
probably heard his
voice on NEWS 12 or,
if you travel or
surf the web, on one
of the many radio
and television
stations across the
country that use
B103's "big voice
guy" as their "Image
Voice."
Jim is insanely
happily married to
his wife Charlene -
his high school
sweetheart from the
class of 1972 - and
they live in a
gingerbread house
just outside of
Queens with their
Yorkie "Molly,"
and we are fortunate
to have three
wonderful children
who are making us
proud.
Birthday: April 15,
1954. Providence RI

Enthusiasm" and

Favorite

Grill in Freeport
and a little place
in Garden City
called "Three
Bambino's"
Best Thing About
Long Island:
Everything BUT the

Who's idea was that
anyway?
If I didn't work in
radio, I'd be:
selling knock off
Rolex watches on
Canal Street!
Hobbies; Golf,
Billiards,
Collecting Single
Malt Scotch, and
losing my car keys.

the most: Red Sox!
Hey - c'mon! 2
World Series after
86 years of "no
cigar"? Besides, if
you want attention
on Long Island...
Secret talent:
Superhero!!! You
gotta see me in
tights and a cape!!!
Actually, I can play
the guitar.... with
my toes! (Although
sometimes I play my
toes separately)
A talent I would
most like to have: A
really great singing
voice and the
ability to NOT lose
my stupid car keys!
