Erik VanDenBossche

I've lived in Maine basically my whole life, growing up in Livermore Falls and eventually moving to Gardiner, where I graduated high school in 2002. I attended NESCOM in Bangor, majoring in radio broadcasting while taking all the sports classes the school offered. After graduating from college, I spent the first part of my career working as a radio news anchor. I then switched to music, spending a few years as a DJ at Q106.5 in Bangor. In early 2018, I moved to Sports Radio 92.9 The Ticket, which just like Q106.5, is owned by Townsquare Media and located in Brewer. I'm a sports fan, especially the Patriots and Celtics. I binge on Netflix and HBO. I probably spend too much time on my PS4, and I love music, especially country.
