DIMITRI SOTIS

Dimitri was born on December 6 and grew up in Muncie, Indiana. I've never done anything else and I've known from age 10 that this is what I wanted to do. I was one of those "nerds" who had a "pretend" radio station in my basement. When I was 12 I had an afternoon paper route and, later, a part-time job in a food warehouse. I took all of my earnings and bought two turntables, an audio mixer, a microphone and some speakers and set up a studio in my basement. Every afternoon I'd come home from school and go "on the air." Then at five o'clock, I'd run upstairs to the living room to watch reruns of "WKRP in Cincinnati." It's embarrassing but true. My parents are the only real heroes in my life. They both came to the United States from Greece to go to college and they never left. My dad taught me how to think critically, how to quickly size up a situation and how important it is to save money and spend it wisely. My mother taught me how to behave properly in social situations, how to be organized and how important it is to do a job thoroughly and not to cut corners.
