Jason
What's good Peoria!? If we haven't met in person yet... let me introduce myself. My name is Jason Parkinson...
I was born and raised right here in the 309 and grew up listening to Power 92.3 with my friends. Working here is a dream come true! After High School, I attended Spoon River College and Illinois State University (Go Redbirds!) earning a degree in Broadcast Journalism and Web Development.
Between managing a mobile DJ company and programming the best radio station in Peoria, I find some time to spend with my beautiful wifey and great friends!
Jason's B-Day: February 20 - and yes.. I expect tons of presents!
Jason's Pets: My wifey and I have 2 cats... she got to name the first one "Roxy" and let me name the second one... "Young Jeezy" Ha Ha... people always laugh when I tell them my cat is named Young Jeezy! Jason's Favorite Food: Well, I'm a big fan of Italian food (thanks to my Grandparents) but I'll really eat just about anything. Free Food is even better and I have YET to find a radio DJ that doesn't enjoy free food!
What does Jason do for fun? I enjoy watching TV - American Idol, The Event, Glee, etc. DJing weddings and school dances is fun too! Keep your eyes open and you're sure to see me out somewhere with the DJ4U Crew.
