Thank you for stopping by. My name is Chris and I have been working with computers for as long as I can remember, ahh. . . the Commodore 64. Though I am still waiting for my hover board and rocket shoes, I have seen technology change immensely in my lifetime. I have been actively working with computers and radio tech for the last 20 years and can’t imagine doing anything else.
As a child I was fascinated with radio and spent much of my time listening to old radio shows and music from every genre and generation. I knew that I wanted to work in radio, with computers, and my hover board. Well, most of that became a reality for me.
I’ve worked at 5 radio stations in San Diego, California, in every part of the industry, from music to talk radio, from board op to IT Manager. And I love it all! The bulk of my radio experience was at KPRZ and KCBQ radio. These sister stations are where I spent 18 years, wearing many hats and taking on the challenge of changing both stations over from analog to digital production and broadcasting. Working at these stations gave me the opportunity I had always wanted.
My father was in the US Navy, and in his time, he saw technology change rapidly as well. He always spoke with fondness about the opportunity that the Navy had given him and how proud he was to be a part of something so important. Two years ago, I had the opportunity to take a job at the Naval Base on Point Loma, in San Diego. I have been diligently working to support the Naval and Marine Corps Intranet, fixing software, hardware and security issues for both military and civilian personnel on base. This experience has given me a unique opportunity to see part what my dad experienced, and to continue my education in the Tech Industry.
I am currently one year away from getting my Bachelor’s Degree in IT and plan on pursuing my Master’s Degree in Systems Engineering when I am done.
Please take a look around the site. I have posted my resume, recommendations and samples of my radio and broadcasting skills. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Waiting for my hover board,
Chris Ragsdale
