His love affair with Reggae started when he was in a punk band many moons ago. Shaggy has been in radio for over thirty (30) years, with some of those years spent in education and public outreach. Besides doing Mornings for us, he is also our resident tech genius (see studio story above). He also quarterbacks our website, app and streaming responsibilities.
