About Me: I founded PinkGator in September 2005, after being inspired by DJ MoJo (back then he was a DJ for GameSurgeRadio). I had a desire to create my own station, but with a different twist (and a unique name!). Thus, PinkGator was born. Here we are, almost 2 years later, running stronger than ever. We have THE most talented radio staff out there (If I were to our experience was combined, it would be over nine thousand). I have created a unique, family like atmosphere that allows us to communicate more effectively as co-workers. No matter what happens, PinkGator is here to stay. We're like one giant pink diamond, that never goes dull.
