My journey in to radio has been a very cool and unpredictable ride. Starting as a recording artist with a dream to get my music played on the biggest top-40 radio station in the state. To becoming that very radio station's Resident DJ and night show co-host! I would never of imagined it would of played out like this, but hey.. I'll take it. A few quick things about me, I'm a huge pro-wrestling geek, I love the Ninja Turtles, I live for music, and I'm a major hookah-holic! For everything else JR follow me on social media @yafavhomiejr and don't forget to download my music on iTunes!

A “Q Minute” with JR
Long time to talk.. well sort of. I'm having an absolute blast as the host of 'Q Nights' on Q97.9. This got me thinking… something that doesn't happen that often, unless I'm day dreaming about girls or football. None the less, I was thinking about how I'd like to show you a slice of my day here at the Quirk Auto Group Studios...

My favorite t.v. show you’ve never heard of.
I was introduced to this particular T.V. show by a buddy of mine years ago. However I hadn’t watched a single episode until after it’s original airing date. The T.V. show that I’m talking about is one of my all time favorites, and one you’ve probably never even heard of...

Hanging With Homie: Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School
Sometimes…. I feel like my life is a movie. When I say that what I mean is, it’s almost surreal to me. Like for example, if I could hop in a time machine and go tell my younger self what I’d be doing in 2016, it would be almost unbelievable. Moral of the story is […]

JR Celebrates TWO YEARS with the Q! (Instagram Re-Cap)
It's crazy to think that it's been two whole years, since I began this journey as an on-air Radio Personality with Q97.9. This is something I use to pretend to do as a 15 year old kid in my mom's Westbrook home. I'd record my own fake radio shows on the family computer...
Saco All-Star Cheering on QNights
Believe it or not, it's winter here in Maine. Though mother nature has been EXTREMELY kind to us so far. To me, winter means candy canes, the spirit of christmas, Buddy the Elf, and of course... winter cheering! This week kicked off what will be a crazy line up of cheer squads set to visit the Q...
The Morse Cheerleaders Visit QNights!

The total count of students at the dance […]
Hanging With Homie at Ricker Hill Orchards [VIDEO]
I woke up on Sunday morning really excited to do my first ever live remote broadcast. I was even more excited once I got to Ricker Hill Orchards in Turner, ME. This place has been growing their own apples for over eight generations, so you can imagine how good they are...
Why I DJ at High Schools (Boothbay Homecoming Re-Cap)
Over the weekend my “Shut Up And Party” tour continued at Boothbay High School. This was my second time DJ’ing for this particular school and they did not disappoint. It was a night full of energy, dancing, glow sticks, hands in the air, and out right fun. I often get asked the question; “Homie, why […]
(VIDEO) JR is picking who over the Pats this Sunday?!
I recently did a guest appearance for a local sports podcast that is based right out Portland. I met with Dave Harding at the radio station earlier this week. We talked about Sunday's up-coming Patriots vs Cowboys game. By now if you have any idea about who I am, you know that I'm a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan...
