 Radio stations are granted a license to operate by the Federal Communications Commission with one main purpose:  To serve the needs of its local community.  And Jack Ryan has stood right beside his friends and neighbors in need on Knoxville, Tennessee radio stations for 23 years.  

But, the greatest time of need for his area didn’t come this past fall, when East Tennessee was ravaged with one of the worst natural disasters in the state’s history.  The wildfires in Gatlinburg and Sevier county engulfed tens of thousands of acres, killed 14 people, displaced more than 14,000 others and destroyed over 2,000 buildings, businesses and homes.

How fast can you get me a demo?

Usually by the end of the day you ask for it.

What kind of gear and lighting do you have available?

Working at a radio station gives me all the tools to provide professional high quality audio samples.  My home studio also includes: An SE X1 Microphone, A Scarlett Focusrite input, sound proofing, editing made by Cool Edit, a Shure made for Iphone's and mixing capabilities.

I also Studio lighting with a softbox kit made by Linco.  Photos below. 

Do you have references?  

Yes.  Tons of them.

What are your availabilities to travel out of town?

I have a unique situation where I am able to record my radio show several days in advance if need be.  This allows me the freedom to travel with ease.  I do have 2 daughters that I share with their mom, but most of the time I have family to call on to lend a hand.  To date, I have never turned down an opportunity because I was unable to travel.
