Hello, I am Dave Alan, 97ZOK weekend, holiday and weekday fill-in jock. I have been with the station since 2011. Along with my on-air duties, I am a Remote Tech Engineer, part of the production team. I am also the person who picks the Teacher of The Week entries from the wonderful letters you submit and one of the jocks who stops by the school to surprise that teacher and class. I also appear at Friday Night Flicks and Stroll on State. When you stop by the station to pick up your on air winnings, you may see me there as well, handing them over to you. I am beyond thankful to be part of such a great team and look forward to many more years at 97ZOK and Townsquare Media.
