OFFICER DON
Officer Don was raised on a farm in Irvington,
Kentucky. He knew his farming days were numbered
due to a fear of most farm animals (especially
peacocks). Since he knew farming wasn't going to
work out, at 14 years old Don got his first
radio job at WHIC in Hardinsburg, Kentucky. He
was a DJ and local news reporter during high
school. During college, he took a job with WHAS
radio in Louisville, where he did everything
from DJ to talk show host/producer to air
traffic reporter.
Don moved to Lexington to work for a radio
station, but ultimately followed his biggest
dream - to be a police officer. He joined the
|
Lexington Police
Department in 1990, where he has served as a patrol
officer, a motorcycle officer and as a homicide
detective.
Don holds a
commercial rating in fixed wing aircraft and is a
commercial pilot and certified flight instructor in
helicopters, with over 6000 flight hours. You can hear
Officer Don's Skywatch traffic reports weekdays on 98.1
The Bull, 100.1 WKQQ, Mix 94.5, Newsradio 630 WLAP and
104.5 The CAT. He also appears on 27 Newsfirst This
Morning on WKYT television weekday mornings from 6am to
8am. You can also hear Officer Don's Radio show on
Better Country 98.1 The Bull midday Saturdays from 10am
to 3pm. Then, he pulls the all nighter on Lexington's
Original Rock station 100.1 WKQQ from Midnight Saturday
to 5 A.M. Sunday. In his off-air time, Don enjoys flying World War II
aircraft such as the T-6 Texan. |
