Don was one of the Connecticut School of Broadcasting's earliest success stories. His first on air work
was at the former WSOR/WEHW in Windsor, CT. It was there that he caught the attention of WPOP
which hired him as a weekend man and summer relief Boss Jock in July of 1968.

Don soon moved to New Haven and WNHC's more music format; he also worked at WNHC TV (becoming
the state's first black TV personality), then moved to cross-town rival, WAVZ. Don's radio journey took him
to KGFJ, KABC TV and KDAY, all in Los Angeles, then a stint as editor for the R&B Report. He served the
Armed Forces Radio Network based in L.A., KGFJ radio, KMBY in Capitola, CA, and worked in sales at KNX Los Angeles.
