Thomas said: “I have been hearing a buzz about Benztown for a while. I looked closer and feel the barter business model works in today’s broadcast business environment. I’m very excited to be working with them and to be out in front with the radio stations I serve. Before I established my career in voiceover, I was an on-air personality. My heart has always been in radio. I understand the needs and demands of the stations that I work for and together, we create solid branding.”
