Jesse James

I was born and raised in the Boise, Idaho, and began my radio career in 2007 doing promotions for Peak Broadcasting stations. After getting an opportunity to do the on-air night shift on WOW Country, I became the host of the work day show. In April of 2014, I made another move to become the afternoon drive host on WOW. After taking a one-year hiatus from radio, I'm back in the saddle, here in beautiful Bozeman, Montana. Contact Jesse at jesse.ropelato@townsquaremedia.com
