About Me

Check out my website www.johnnelson.net

At a young age my family moved from Southern California to the land of opportunity .....RENTON WASHINGTON! (the land of Boeing, mullets, and bitchin' Camaros).
I work for a company called Metro Networks. We do traffic reports and write news for most of the radio and TV stations in the greater Seattle / Tacoma area.
I've been on the air in Spokane at KDRK and KEZE "Rock 106" and several radio stations in Seattle including 2 years at KZOK and 13 years 103.7 FM "The Mountain".
I've also been a traffic reporter on "KING 5 News" (Channel 5 in Seattle), appeared in TV commercials, voiced video games and appeared in movies filmed in Washington state including such film,cable and direct to video classics as Visionquest, Singles and the Disney Channel epic Chips The War Dog.
