From Rockford to Radio Star
Hailing originally from nearby Kent County, with formative years spent in Rockford and Sparta, Dillinger’s journey into radio began in the early 2000s at WSVA AM in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. What started as a simple job pushing buttons quickly turned into a whirlwind of opportunities, from reading news and weather to voicing commercials, running promotions, and eventually hosting shows across multiple formats.
“I got my start in a little mom-and-pop station,” Dillinger recalls. “It was the best time of my life—learning the ropes, experimenting with different genres, and connecting with listeners.”
Michigan Roots to WGLM 106.3FM
After years of bouncing between radio stations around the country, Dillinger returned to Michigan, joining well-known Grand Rapids stations like WLHT 95.7, 100.5 The River, and the legendary WGRD. His work on The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show and other top programs solidified his reputation as a versatile and engaging radio personality.
But life isn’t always about the spotlight. After taking time off to focus on his family and try his hand at various other jobs, Dillinger’s passion for radio pulled him back to the airwaves when WGLM offered him the morning show host position.
Community Radio in Montcalm County
Since joining WGLM 106.3FM, Dillinger has embraced Montcalm County with open arms. “This is an amazing community—good, honest people who’ve been incredibly welcoming,” he says. His love for pop culture, music, movies, and all things nostalgic makes him a perfect match for the station’s mix of classic hits and contemporary favorites.
His morning show embodies the spirit of community radio, combining local news, events, and music with Dillinger’s signature blend of sarcasm and sincerity. “I want this station to feel fun, upbeat, and connected to the people who tune in. That’s what community radio is all about—being a reflection of the listeners.”
Building Local Connections with WGLM Radio
Dillinger is also passionate about supporting local businesses and fostering connections within Montcalm County. Whether he’s promoting a new restaurant, chatting about local events, or featuring community leaders on air, he’s committed to making WGLM a hub for everything that makes the area special.
“I look forward to meeting as many people as I can,” Dillinger says. “This station feels like home, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.”
