HOBBIES: I love movies of all kind and I love rollerblading with my daughter in the jogging stroller but aside from learning to play golf, I really haven't had the time for most hobbies. I cant remember the last time I even had time to read a book that wasn't about some kind of self improvement! "Girlfriends guide to Raising a Toddler", "The Busy Woman's Guide to Organization" and I just love those manuals on how to use my newest technology thingy - for my laptop, mini disc recorder, high definition television, cingular wireless phone....etc....very riveting stuff,

MAN OR WOMAN YOU ADMIRE MOST AND WHY: My friend Jen (She'll be shocked when she reads this) because of her great ability to juggle a rewarding career (Ronald McDonald House), raise a family and maintain her relationships with friends. No matter how busy she is, she always remembers the little details in the lives of other people.

FAVORITE SINGER/BAND: KEITH URBAN ( duh...), GARTH BROOKS (still)

MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT IN LIFE:
MY TRIP TO THE OLYMPICS IN 1998 HELD IN NAGANO JAPAN! A TRIP OF A LIFETIME !

GREATEST FEAR: That UC will make it further in the big dance than UK ( not that it's a rational fear)

IF YOU COULD BE ANY ANIMAL WHAT WOULD YOU BE AND WHY: Paris Hilton's dog. The travel !The wardrobe! The accommodations! It's a dog's life!

Loves: My family. I found my true love, Stephanie, back in the summer of 2000 and the love magnified when our two children were born. We have 2 boys, Jameson and Landon. At their ages of 4 and 2, there’s really nothing cooler than just hanging outdoors looking for bugs!

Any diseases: Yes, I’m a Packers fan. Had it since birth and most of the time it’s kind of embarrassing.

Hobbies: The list could go on about what my hobbies used to be: Golf, exercise, sports, etc. Right now I enjoy being dad! Sounds cliché, I know, but it really is the best. I do still watch the Pack play on Sundays.

Stuff: I’ve learned a lot about my family (and myself) since August. Pulling up and moving on from a place that you love (Minnesota) isn’t easy for anyone. We’ve had to live in a pretty tight place the last number of weeks and I’ve asked a lot of them. As a result, we’ve grown so much closer as a family and I have an even greater love and respect for my wife & children. We’ve found the truest meaning in “having each other” is what really means the most as we trek forward and develop new friends in Cincinnati. The reason for the move? Cincinnati is a great place to raise children and the company I work for is highly coveted by disc jockeys everywhere!

You’ve been great to us, too! I appreciate your kindness on the phone and in emails. Thank you for that! I hope our relationship gets cooler every day. Life is kind of like a dating. If you really want it to work out, you can’t just “go for it” on the first day, but instead you let the relationship grow over time. In other words, if you and I hang out long enough…look out! In time, I might kiss you!

Date started at B-105: October, 1999

Hobbies: Working on my car; Frisbee golf; camping

Man or woman you admire the most and why: My boss. Because, hopefully I'll get a raise for saying him!

Favorite singer / band: Big & Rich; Keith Urban

Most memorable moment in life: A long time ago, I was cutting grass and mowed over a patch of poison ivy. I was covered from head-to-toe with a rash. I had it everywhere ... and I mean EVERYWHERE!

Hidden talents: Skateboarding; biking; and I can eat a dozen donuts in one sitting.

Greatest fear: Having to go to ballet again.

If you were an animal, what would it be and why? A bird. So I could fly to work and never sit in traffic again.

Additional comments: I think it's really cool to be able to work for the radio station I grew up listening to. But I never knew part of the job would be finding Amanda's car keys. She loses them ALL THE TIME!

I’m pretty much known as the B105 DJ ‘with all the animals’, and, yes, it’s true. My wife, Barbara, and I live on 150 acres in Pendleton County, Kentucky, that we share with miniature horses, llamas, goats, rabbits, and a host of other critters. So when I’m not on the air, you’ll most probably find me at the barn dishing out the daily rations, cleaning stalls, or tossing hay bales from the loft.

I’ve been very fortunate to have spent the majority of my radio career at B105. In fact, it’s often said that I started in radio about the same time as Marconi! However, it’s great when listeners come up to me and tell me how they ‘grew up’ listening to me on the radio.

I’m a Missouri boy, born and raised in small town called Josephville, about fifty miles west of St. Louis. My previous radio ‘stops’ include stations in Missouri and Little Rock, Arkansas, as well as four years doing a ‘command performance’ for Uncle
Sam in the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

Without a doubt, the highlight of my career came in June of 2003 when I was inducted into the Country Radio Broadcasters’ Disc Jockey Hall of Fame.

Born in Jackson, Tennessee, Big Dave (who was much smaller then) and his family soon relocated to Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Soon thereafter he embarked on his educational journey and went from Kindergarten through college in the 'Boro. Armed with a degree in Radio/Television from MTSU, Dave headed 30 miles down the road to make his radio fortune in Music City. But Nashville proved to be a harsh town for the radio rookie. So after 8 years and various pending lawsuits from Wynonna to Pamela Anderson to the Goo Goo Cluster Corporation, his lawyer suggested that a change of scenery might do him some good. With that in mind, Dave relocated to Cincinnati in 1998 and has been lawsuit free ever since! He has since married a beautiful Indiana girl named Carri and together they have a gorgeous daughter named Darah. In his spare time Dave likes to garden, exercise, play guitar and root on the Bengals and the Reds.

Jesse Tack is the guy who welcomes you to the night at B105.

Listen long enough and you'll find out Jesse grew up in Iowa, he has an identical twin brother, he once worked in pizza delivery, his mother was a full-time truck driver, and at one point he considered a career in farming. Besides the farming part, most of that is absolutely true.

He comes complete with very hidden talents like playing the piano and singing. He will not share these with you so please do not ask.

In his free time you'll find Jesse at the movies, DJ'ing weddings, and doing things around the house. That's right, he actually owns a house. He will not give you the address no matter how many times you ask him.

Lastly, Jesse loves being on the radio. He's been at it since the age of 16 and looks forward to work every day! Thanks for listening to Jesse Tack at Night on B105!
