ACCOMPLISHEMENTS

Lone Star Programming Award for 78415 Summer Writing Project, Corpus Christi Park and Recreation Department


The Community Youth Development Program, under the auspices of the Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department, was established with funds authorized by the 74th Legislature for the purpose of reducing juvenile crime in areas of Texas with the highest incidence of youth crime.  The 78415 zip code is the designated area within Corpus Christi to receive Community Youth Development funding.  The 78415 Summer Writing Project was to give the youth of the 78415 community a voice and to provide a channel for them to express their feelings and experiences through art and writing rather than participating in juvenile delinquent behavior.  “The View from 78415”, a collection of material by over 30 authors ages 10 to 18 years old, proves the success of this innovative program.

JJ THOMAS

You could say I grew up in/on radio. In fact, it was the result of a radio station contest which began my passion for radio. I was broadcasted live on KDSX in Denison, Texas.

 

On June 1,1973, my father broadcasted my newborn baby screams via two-way radio…JINXED!

 

In the late 80’s I was fortunate to hop on the caboose of the radio industry. Earning my FCC license at age 14, I learned the critical skills of teamwork and collaboration. This first-hand experience developed my passion for the four keys of advertising production: scriptwriting, voice, sound, and editing.

 

My broadcast journey has also given me great opportunities to craft my skills as a radio personality in Corpus Christi, Texas, Austin, Texas and Tallahassee, Florida.

Currently I am in Dallas, Texas earning and living my broadcast dream - soundscape and voice production.
