Great design, starts here.

Hello,

I’m Greg Rickaby, owner/operator of Greg Rickaby dESIGN. I’m also Chief Engineer for The Radio People. This involves keeping many transmitters, computers, and radio dj’s happy.

I’m a jack-of-all-trades type of person – comfortable with design, programming, business strategies, climbing towers, high-voltage broadcast equipment, and drinking coffee by the gallon. I am particularly well versed with Wordpress and the Thesis Framework.

Personal

Originally from Green Bay, WI I moved down south to work as engineer for several stations in Southeast Alabama and Florida Panhandle. They include: WDJR, WESP, WDBT, WUSD, WPFM, WAKT, WRBA and WASJ. I’ve been in radio for over 12 years and find the most satisfying work is getting a station to sound ‘huge’.

I’m daddy to a wonderful boy, Chase; and I run live-sound at Wiregrass Church. I’m an avid duck hunter and fisherman who also enjoys road trips and building custom PC’s.

I’m a member of The Society of Broadcast Engineers, Ducks Unlimited, and B.A.S.S to support wildlife conservation.
