Born in Latvia, Dr. John Cooper migrated with his parents to this country and grew up on his father's beet farm. Poor, the only enjoyment the family had was an old radio his father recieved in a trade for his older sister. Evenings were spent listening to Amos 8- Andy, The Lone Ranger and other old time radio shows which led to his interest into the broadcast industry. Alter 17 years as host of Ohio's KHOG "Swap Shop" John hit the big time by swaping his pet hamster, Mason, for a degree from the College of Musical Knowledge which he used to land a gig in Central New York. From there it was no where but up.

He joined PYX 106 after a short stint on Broadway in Michael Jackson's "The WIZ". His meteoric rise to the top as Program Director came as a surprise to all in the industry. When asked his most memorable moment in radio, John replied, "my interview with the guy who lived next door to the guy who was the third cousin of the guy who whittled a pair of drumsticks for Pete Best."
