About Frank

Frank Stevenson's journey began as a country-western disc jockey at KJIM "Redneck Radio" due to a fortuitous opportunity when the scheduled DJ didn't show up. His captivating performance led to a permanent job offer from the impressed station manager. Though a summer job, Frank's aspirations took him back to college for his undergraduate studies. Despite the manager's skepticism about college being for everyone, Frank persisted.
