Whip’s first taste of radio was when he was a 9-year-old calling into morning shows in Denver and winning sports trivia contests. The DJs hated him. In fact, he’s pretty sure he’s the reason radio stations instituted a “must be 12 years old to win” rule. He got his start in radio at his college’s station. After flunking, er, dropping out of school, he found a disc jockey job at a station in Santa Fe and has been chasing it ever since. Whip’s worked all over the country including New York, where he got into a well-publicized on-air spat with his co-worker, Howard Stern. Guess who won that one?! Whip’s been married for many years and has two kids in college. He’s a huge sports fan, especially baseball and football, and sings in a punk rock band.
