I cannot remember life without STAR WARS. Being born in 1977, my love of the franchise began while growing up the youngest in my family—all of us obsessed with the movies and the toys. The very first toy I remember holding is a Kenner Stormtrooper action figure.
I consider myself an early adopter of the podcast format back in the early 2000s, back when no one seemed to know what a podcast was. When the opportunity came to host a STAR WARS podcast in 2007, I jumped at the possibility to combine the talk radio format with conversations I have always had about the galaxy far, far away. The circle became complete when I hooked up with radio veteran Jimmy Mac. Together we have blazed a trail for two decades now, bringing our personalities into online STAR WARS fan chatter. It all came together in January of 2013 when we formally established Rebel Force Radio.
When I’m not in front of the microphone talking STAR WARS, I spend my time working professionally in the theater industry as Marketing Director of one of the Nation's largest Performing Arts Centers. My wife Debra and I live in Northeast Ohio with our two kids, Bailey and Parker.
Thank you to all of our listeners who have stuck with us through thick and thin. You truly are the Force behind our podcast adventures together.
Best,
Jason
