Level worked in corporate America before beginning his radio career in Greensboro at NC A&T WNAA 90.1 FM on a volunteer basis in 1989. It became his full time endeavor in 1992 while in Richmond, VA. He has been with 1510 WEAL and 97.1 QMG’s parent company, Entercom Communications, since moving back to the area in 1996.
