Hi, I'm Derek! President of Blackskye Community Radio Association, Inc. Thank you for being here.
I’m a lifelong resident of Waynesboro, PA and love the community I grew up in. I firmly believe that establishing readily accessible and resilient alternative communication systems is crucial in helping ensure safe communities.
My emergency communications and preparedness experience comes from a career in emergency services spanning three decades, and from time spent as an amateur (HAM) radio operator. Currently, I work as a paramedic in the Waynesboro and Chambersburg areas. My aspiration is that Blackskye Community Radio Association, Inc. evolves into a sizable, beneficial, and enjoyable community for all.
I hope to hear you on the air!
