Chad Taylor

I hail from the land of “cheese”, the great state of Wisconsin (Go Badgers)!!  I started my radio career in Racine / Milwaukee and over the years had stops in Illinois, Florida and Iowa. I've had the pleasure to share the stage and manage some great pop acts like Jordan Knight and Danny Wood from New Kids on the Block, Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees, Bryan Abrams from Color Me Badd and the multi platinum PM Dawn.  I’m married to the love of my life Tracy Lynn; we have a beautiful and talented daughter named Macy Lynn.  I’m also a proud father to (3) teenage children; Tyler, Makenzie and Jon.   When I’m not on the air, I enjoy reading, shopping, dining out and catching live concerts.  I have a passion for music, history, baseball and billboard charts  catch me weekday mornings on the Get Up & Go Show with my crazy partner Jen.
