From high atop CB South since 2000, TJ has enjoyed witnessing the sounds of KBUT soothing the Gunnison River Valley’s soul… Dead Head Ed’s tireless dedication to his favorite band, in particular. His career has been spent growing many of the great Colorado natural foods companies, and as CEO of BOBO’S he has best been able to fulfill a lifelong dream of bringing healthy food to the masses. TJ’s key thrills in the Elk Mountains include floating and fishing the East–>Gunnison, long hikes with his dog Teo and wife Molly, and pestering kids Rowan,Shea and Cassidy to nordic ski with him and not make fun of the sport.

My friends call me ShaneO, and I was born and raised in the Gunnison valley, and still reside here. I fell in love with radio at an early age, and have played music most of my life, be it guitar, bass, drums, ukulele, etc. I was the weirdo who would record the radio on cassettes so I didn’t miss any good songs. I still have those cassettes, and listen to them once in awhile. I’ve been working with wood floors since I was about 15, and am currently at Renick Woodfloors. I was the lighting director for the Ibar Ranch for about a year, which was an awesome experience.
I joined the worlds greatest radio station, KBUT, in 2022, and was a fill in DJ for a year before I got my very own show, RockHard Radio, every Wednesday from 10-noon. KBUT changed my life in so many ways, and I’m proud to be on the board of directors. I love being surrounded by other music nerds like me, something I only really experienced while in a band, and that completely sold me on the place.
If there’s anything more beautiful than this valley, it’s the people that reside in it, and I’m proud to dedicate my time to the wonderful community service that is KBUT. Stay weird Gunnison valley!!!
