Jim Elyot - Morning Rush Host
Email: jim@989thedrive.com

Born: Kenora, Ontario

Early Years: Raised by wolves. Still find myself drooling at the sight of small wild animals.

Education: Still referred to by people back home as "that guy who went to grade 12." Graduated from Fanshawe College's Radio Arts program, and have spent the rest of my life thinking about finishing my degree, which is going to be tough, as I haven't started on my degree yet. But I do watch Nova if that counts.

Early career: CKLC AM Kingston back in the day. The day when AM radio was still cool, and when I didn't have to wake up until 2pm to get to work.

Presently: Morning host with Matt Bisson on 98.9 THE DRIVE. AM radio is not only not cool, but not in Kingston anymore either. However the station I work at is also called CKLC FM which is close, and now I can only stay awake until 2pm, even if I'm at work.

Favourite music: Stuff hardly anyone is listening to. This either makes me special, or just a social outcast.

Favrouite TV show: The Office, with Flight of the Conchords a close second

Favourite food: Food

Favourite book: Stephen King "The Stand", or as my friends call it "his good one."

Favourite sport: I like watching football. CFL, NFL, CIAU, NCAA, High school, whatever. My favourite sporty thing to do is run, and I can be kind of annoying about my bike riding too.

Favourite cause: Read and Run program here in Kingston. Never heard of it? Ask me sometime.

Favourite Quote: "Idiots love to bury gods", Buck 65.
