I’m Chuck Marsh, one half of the Wake Up with the Wolf Show with Chuck & Leanne. I’m so blessed to be a part of 93.1 The Wolf. I truly love this radio station and the folks I work with and work for. I moved here from Asheville, NC, where I met my soul mate, Rebecca. We now proudly call Winston-Salem home and love being here in the Triad. As some of you may know, on October 2nd, 2008, we were blessed with our son Aaron Charles Marsh. That makes 4 AWESOME boys when we combine mine, hers = ours…a regular Brady Bunch and I love it!
I grew up in the same area as our afternoon guy Gunner Jackson – East Tennessee. I’m from Kingsport, TN, and Gunner’s from Elizabethton, TN…they used to kill us in football…come to think about it, everyone beat us in football. Speaking of Football…I’m a big UT football fan and Pat Summit is one of the coolest people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. Of course I love NASCAR…I was huge Dale Sr. fan and after the man in black passed I started pulling for Little E, but there will never be another Intimidator! I’m not real sure what else to say about myself, but I’ll be glad to answer any questions you may have, just email me - my life is an open book…short story and paperback…LMBO! I’ll answer anything you ask. Love ya...mean it!
I can only describe my time here at the Wolf as the time of my life! I feel blessed that the forces that came into play in the fall of 2006 worked out as they did. I have a job that I truly love. So many people can't say that.
My hometown is Durham, NC, and that's also where I got my first real radio job. I say "real" because I don't think reading news once a week on the campus radio station at Western Carolina counts, although it did get me hooked on radio.
I've been married to my wonderful husband Pat (who puts up with so much from me that he shouldn't have to) since 1993 and we have one son, John, as well as a really strange dog named China that we adopted in January 2009. Besides radio, my family and dogs, my other passions include NASCAR, movies, music (of course!), travel and good food...REALLY good food. A few other tidbits:
Favorite food: Lexington-style BBQ
Favorite TV show: "Intervention" or "Deadliest Catch"
Favorite movie: tie - "Gone with the Wind" & "Casablanca"
Favorite place I've ever visited: New Mexico
Favorite sports teams: UNC, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers
Dislike: people who pretend to be something they're not. Be yourself!
I also love hearing from our Wolf friends. Drop me a line anytime!
John Rich from Big & Rich told me a few years ago that I have too many names for just one person, however, I tend to disagree. I've been called Clay, JD, PMT, Prime Minister of Twang, ect, but they call me simply Clay JD Walker most of the time, and I hail from the beautiful mountains of West Virginia...a small town called Buckhannon, to be exact. I was raised on Mama Walker's home cookin', country music and Christian values. I was bitten by the radio bug at 15, and I never looked back. I graduated Marshall Univsersity in the spring of 2006, during the filming of "We Are Marshall" (watch closely, and you'll see me as an extra in a few scenes), followed my dreams, working all across West Virginia, until I was blessed in mid 2007 to move to the Triad and start my life howlin'!
I'm just gonna be honest: tons of people have given me a chance, took risks, and gave me the helping hand I needed to make a living doing something that I absolutely love (and couldn't imagine a life without it!), and words cannot explain how blessed and thankful I am knowing that you allow me to spend part of my day with you on the radio. Thank You.
There are three things in my life that motivate what I do.
1.) My faith and love for God
2.) My family (Mama and Papa Walker keep me in line)
3.) My people (this means you!)
If I'm not on The Wolf, you can find me piddlin' around my yard tinkering in the garden, turning a wrench on 'White Lightning' (my old F150), or yelling at the neighborhood children (doing my part to make a better generation, ya know). If we happen to pass each other on the road, be sure to throw a hand up, ok?
I really appreciate you taking The Wolf to Work every day...God Bless
Hey, ya’ll its Gunner Jackson. Thanks for making 93.1 The Wolf your new home for country music.
Here’s a little peek into my life as a staggeringly diverse DJ. Things I love, things I hate and things that make no since at all...
I have a PHD from the University of Hard Knocks. You may frequently see me along I-40 in a black and white jump suit - picking up trash, some call it “work release" - I like to think it’s good for the soul. The Internet, wow, mail without stamps, amazing! There’s not a whole lot that doesn’t amaze me. Well, now that you’ve swallowed all of that, here’s a little bit of what I love. I have great passion for everything to do with the WOLF! Singers I love… Sara Evans, Reba, Brooks & Dunn, Phil Vassar, Merle Haggard, and of course, Mr. Cash.
