The Good Life – November-December 2020

Before his on-air
identity had been
hatched, “Fish” was
attending college in
Mayville, N.D., when his friend
suggested they go into the wedding
DJ business together and move to
Fargo. Fish fell for it hook, line and
sinker. The problem (which turned
into a blessing) was that some of his
credits from Mayville didn’t transfer to
MSU Moorhead, so Fish knew he had
to find an internship and earn them
back.
That’s when he caught wind of an
opportunity at Radio FM Media. He’d
always liked public speaking, so it
seemed like a natural fit. That was
in 2014. Since then, Fish has been a
radio DJ for Q105.1 ROCKS from 7 p.m.
to midnight and now for 107.9 The Fox
from 2-7 p.m. Like a Fish to water,
he’s learned everything he knows
from good ol’ fashioned observation
and coworkers’ expertise.
On a beautiful fall day one week
before his wedding, Fish made time
to chat over a beer and his phone at
Drekker’s Brewhalla to tell me some
specifics about the man behind the
mic. I didn’t even make any horrible
puns during the interview. Read on
to find out more about the radio
personality.
Good Life: You’re in a grocery store
standing right behind another person.
You’re not abiding the 6-feet-apart
rule. You’re both wearing masks.
What would be an extremely creepy
thing to say to them?
Fish: I’d go up over their shoulder all
creepy like and whisper, “Hey, want
some hand sanitizer?”
