I've produced The Chad Hasty Show on KFYO since 2014, and help out with the P.M. edition of The Chad Hasty Show, as well as KFYO Mornings, and sports on Talk 1340. In 2010, I completed a 29-year career as an air traffic controller, the first four year serving in the United States Air Force, and the rest with the Federal Aviation Administration. I'm a West Texas native, am married with two children and a miniature schnauzer, and have been a professional photographer for many years. I love the outdoors and the night sky, reading, music, shooting, and spicy food, and I ride my unicycle 10-15 miles per week. As a long time talk-radio fan, I really enjoy being on air and part of the process on the blowtorch broadcast at KFYO.
