THE DAVE AND JEN MORNING SHOW WEEKDAYS 6am-10am

Dave returned to Ithaca in 2011 to join Jen for the “Dave and Jen Morning Show”. He helmed the top 40 station “YES-FM” back in 1994 when the station was located in Cortland and also guided it through its transition to Classic Rocker I100. His over 30-year career in radio has taken him from New Hampshire to the Finger Lakes, to Connecticut, New Hampshire (again!) and back here to Ithaca!

Behind The Scenes

Dave grew up in “Rhode DIsland” as the locals like to call it and New England is (and always will be) close to his heart. He loves to travel, takes in a race (or two) at Saratoga during the Summer and occasionally can be found at the golf course or one of the many wineries or brew pubs that call the Finger Lakes their home!
