On any given day, Executive Director Gary Duncan has a story to share about his time at various radio stations, including his very first job (we won’t tell you how long ago) at 14 Country WCMT Tennessee. An ardent lover of music, you’ll often find him singing and strumming away on his guitar. Gary also enjoys a lifetime of learning. After college with studies in broadcast communications he has studied numerous subjects including Community College Continuing education and on-line courses in business, electronics, computer technologies, photography and just recently studied for and passed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) part 107 test and is a certified commercial drone pilot. Gary’s current on-line course studies are focused on learning to play the piano. In addition to Gary’s enjoyment from music and drone flying you’ll find him amassing a collection of radio gadgets, guitars and photo gear. He takes his various cameras on adventures to capture delightful photography of his native Saint Louis architecture, nature, animals, or birds. When it’s time to just relax with his wife, two children and six grandchildren, he’s an expert in lounging in his pool in the summer, or if it’s too cold for that, cozying up by the fire laughing at his favorite comedies.
