I’m still “Just a Fan”
I’m a long time listener and still a huge fan of our station. I love everything about radio, and Ocean 98 is the best radio station I’ve ever been a fan of and listened to. I started out as part of the “Ocean 98 Family”, calling in routinely during the Rude Awakening Show… then several years ago, I was asked to establish a group of volunteers to help staff our community events. When our family finally made the decision to move to the Beach permanently, I became part of the station’s sales team. I couldn’t be more proud and excited to be part of the Ocean 98 team.
I have a long history in Ocean City… our family has vacationed here since 1967, spending the month of August in town. After I outgrew family vacation, I was in and out of town every other weekend it seems during my college and career years. Most who know me thought I’ve lived here for a very long time… as a close friend once said… my heart in in Harrisburg, my soul is in Ocean City.
Yes, I’m native to Central Pennsylvania, growing up in New Cumberland, just across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg. Did you know the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg is one mile wide? While I’ve never been a passenger in a horse and buggy, I do know a little Pennsylvania Dutch, especially when it comes to cooking.
Half of my career in PA was spent in the car business. Right out of college, I sold cars for Faulkner Pontiac-GMC, Brenner Cadillac-Oldsmobile and Woods Buick-GMC. I left the car business in 1994 and spent the next 20 years in the telecommunications industry in sales and marketing… primarily with AT&T Corporation and Comcast Business Services. My years at AT&T were the best, most rewarding years in my career. Truly, the only company I ever had passion for. It was like the “family business” as my Father worked for the company for 36 years and my Mother for 13.
After a couple years with Comcast, I returned to Faulkner at their Toyota store in Harrisburg as Internet Sales Manager and spent the next 4 years there, until moving to the beach. It’s a great store with an awesome staff, I hated to leave but the beach wasn’t calling my name anymore, it was shouting it! Many of the best things that ever happened to me, happened in Ocean City, the best of which was meeting the love of my life and wife, Shera.
Joining the staff at Ocean 98 has brought that passion back that I felt many years ago at AT&T. I love talking to our customers, both potential and current about how Ocean 98 can truly make a huge difference in a businesses advertising, marketing and branding strategy.
I would love to schedule an appointment to speak with YOU about advertising your business with Ocean 98… call or text me 302-524-9842 or email me bill.fuhrer@ocean98.com
A few “lesser known” things about me. I studied at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania and Penn State University. I’m an Eagle Scout, and “retired” professional church musician… as a chorister, bass soloist and playing violin, piano and organ. Of the many pieces I’ve written for organ, 2 are published by Morningstar Music.
