Alex Conn – TK99 Brand Manager

If you love listening to all things Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith, Alex Conn is the guy behind your favorite station. As Brand Manager of TK99, Alex is responsible for curating TK99’s classic rock selection, crafting creative station promotions that our listeners love, and putting together the fun audio bits that keep you laughing at work. Alex has been with us since he was an intern with The Gomez and Lisa Morning Show and has held many different roles since then. He’s worked nights, run the audio board that powers the station, and worked in our production department. Now he’s taken the TK99 reins and takes great pride in the fact that the entirety of his radio career has happened in one place. We love that we’ve been able to retain talent like Alex as his career has developed. Besides loving classic rock, Alex is a major foodie. If there are fire and smoke involved, he’s happy, and he loves making meals from scratch. In fact, if he wasn’t in this job, you could probably find him working as a chef at a barbeque joint. If you need tips on making the perfect steak in a cast iron pan or want some music trivia that’ll impress your friends, he’s your guy. Email him at AConn@GalaxyMediaCompany.com.

Now the fun stuff!

1.) What’s an everyday skill you’re really good at? Other than cooking… I can make an abnormally loud and fast bubble gum pop. Skill? Maybe not so much haha.

2.) What celebrity encounter would leave you star struck? No doubt about it – Ken Griffey Jr. THE KID! Best ballplayer ever!

3.) What’s the best purchase under $100 you’ve ever made? Cast Iron Pan… You’ve never had steak if it wasn’t done in a cast iron.

4.) What could the world use more of? Bill Murray movies. I am convinced there will never be enough.

5.) What’s one thing someone might be surprised to learn about you? I am a huge fan of heavy music. I love all kinds of music but grew up in my teenage years listening to heavy metal and punk bands – still love it today!

6.) The senior superlative you would have won in high school would be: I won the “Best Smile” award… but I WOULD have won best hair when it was over a foot long!

EVENT COORDINATOR

Galaxy Events is rapidly expanding up and down the East Coast, and we’re looking to add to our team. If your friends and family make fun of your color-coded spreadsheets and passion for to-do lists, let’s talk. We’re looking for a full time ultra-organized, energetic, detail-oriented person with solid communication skills to assist with vendor solicitation and event logistics. A few of our most popular events include Taste of Syracuse, our Wine and Chocolate Festivals, Lights on the Lake, Spooktacular Stroll, and more. This job is based out of our Syracuse office, though you’ll occasionally be asked to do some weekend travel as we stage events in other cities. The right person for this job is comfortable with budgeting, logistics, and vendor solicitation, and will enjoy working in a fast-paced, creative environment. Some jobs leave you watching the clock every day, but we promise that this isn’t one of them!

Lauren Corriher – Senior Digital Content Specialist

Lauren Corriher is our Senior Digital Content Specialist. Basically, if you’ve got an idea you’d like to bring to life and don’t quite have the words to explain it, she can help with that. She’s been published in the American Airlines in-flight magazine, U.S. News & World Report, USA Today, The Post-Standard, and has work coming out soon in Conde Nast Traveler. Ask the people in her life how they’d describe her, and they’d tell you she’s a good listener, empathetic, and has absolutely no sense of direction.

Now for the fun stuff!

1.) What’s an everyday skill you’re really good at? Empathy.

2.) What celebrity encounter would leave you star-struck? Elin Hilderbrand. She’s my favorite author. I read everything she writes!

3.) What’s the best purchase under $100 you’ve ever made? A reusable stainless steel water bottle. I drink a lot more water now that I have it, plus it’s so much better for the environment than plastic bottles.

4.) What could the world use more of? Selflessness. It’s so easy to think about “What do *I* want?” or “What do *I* need?” but the world would be a much better place if we could set our own needs, wants, and perspectives aside for a minute and think about what others might be going through.

5.) What’s one thing someone might be surprised to learn about you? I’m an extroverted introvert, but some people are surprised to find out that I’m not just an extrovert. I’m quiet at first, but then get chatty when I’m comfortable. Being in a large group for a while drains me and I have to watch TV or read to recharge my batteries.

6.) The senior superlative you would have won in high school would be: I was this close to winning Most Likely to Be Famous, but I lost by one vote. (I was on the yearbook committee, so I know this to be true). The best part is I didn’t vote for myself because I thought it was in poor taste. Lessons were learned that day…

Carrie Wojtaszek – Chief Operating Officer

The running joke around the Galaxy office is that we need to install a deli number machine outside of Chief Operating Officer Carrie Wojtaszek’s office, as there’s always a steady stream of people looking to meet with her. “My door is always open, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!” she laughs. Carrie loves creative collaboration and truly does a little bit of everything here at Galaxy. One day she’s out measuring vendor spaces for an upcoming event, and the next she’s in a meeting putting together a comprehensive plan for a client that involves radio, digital, and sports marketing elements.

Though she’s passionate about all aspects of our business, our Taste of Syracuse festival is definitely Carrie’s baby. Successfully executing the festival each year is one of her favorite career highlights year after year. It makes sense because Carrie spent the majority of her ten-year career with Galaxy in our events division. She started as Event Sales Manager, then moved into the General Manager Role. In October, she was promoted to COO. You can try to get her to tell you who’s headlining next year’s Taste of Syracuse festival by emailing her at Carrie@GalaxyMediaPartners.com.

Now for the fun stuff:

1.) What’s an everyday skill you’re really good at? Multitasking. The key to getting everything accomplished in my day is a handwritten list! There’s something about checking things off a list that is VERY rewarding!

2.) What celebrity encounter would leave you star-struck? I once met John Voight in an airport. I’m not usually star struck, but I was with him. I love the show Ray Donovan and had a hard time thinking of him as anyone else besides Mickey Donovan! He was really kind and friendly- I spoke to him for about an hour and never told him that I knew who he was.

3.) What’s the best purchase under $100 you’ve ever made? My sunglasses… a wise woman once told me that if I invested in a good pair of sunglasses, I would stop losing them!

4.) What could the world use more of? Small acts of kindness

5.) What’s one thing someone might be surprised to learn about you? I’m also a small business owner and entrepreneur on the side. My husband and I own a local self-storage facility.

6.) The senior superlative you would have won in high school would be: I won best eyes!

Jen-Major Quinn – Utica Local Sales Manager

Jen Major-Quinn is the Local Sales Manager in our Utica office. She joined Galaxy in 2016, working her way up from account executive to Utica team leader before taking on this new leadership role. The Ilion native infuses positive energy and creativity into Galaxy’s culture, and both our team and our clients benefit from it. Speaking of creativity, Jen is also an artist. You can check out some of her mural work at local favorite spots like Sickenberger Lane and Utica Coffee. When she’s not dreaming up perfect campaigns for her clients or working on her newest piece of art, you can find Jen hiking. She loves to explore the Adirondacks with her husband, Ryan, and son, Matthew.

Now for the fun stuff:

1.) What’s an everyday skill you’re really good at?

I excel at singing in the car, being a little sarcastic, and noticing other people’s efforts big and small, and saying “I love you” to my family.

2.) What celebrity encounter would leave you star-struck?

Without a doubt, Dave Grohl, I’ve followed his career since I started listening to KROCK at 11 years old. His drive is super inspiring. I would have no words.

3.) What’s the best purchase under $100 you’ve ever made?

A meat thermometer. You can never be too careful! Also, The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz. That book should be on every coffee table.

Humility.

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” – Ernest Hemingway

Marissa Greenlar – Chief Content Officer

Marissa Greenlar has one of the coolest “full circle” stories you’ll find at Galaxy. As KROCK’s Brand Manager & the Chief Content Officer, she gets to oversee a station she grew up listening to every day. The power of this really sank in for Marissa at the annual KRockathon summer concert a few years back. Attending the show with her dad was a summer ritual for Marissa, but this time, she was backstage running the concert. The moment happened because of Marissa’s incredible willingness to put in the work, even when the job is far outside her specified job description. Her creativity yields innovative content on both the programming and client sides of the equation. If you’re in need of a clever idea or a logo, she’s the person whose brain you need to borrow. She joined us as a recent college graduate in 2008, and we’ve all benefitted from her hard work and commitment to Galaxy ever since.

Now for the fun stuff:

1.) What’s an everyday skill you’re really good at? Eating – I am a serious foodie & I love to check out new restaurants!

2.) What celebrity encounter would leave you star struck? If you ask around the office, they’ll tell you I was pretty star struck when Taylor Hanson showed up in our parking lot, but I would be equally as shook if Justin Timberlake showed up unannounced.

3.) What’s the best purchase under $100 you’ve ever made? A hammock chair for my backyard. So relaxing!

4.) What could the world use more of? I would stand behind a movement increasing the number of naps taken.

5.) What’s one thing someone might be surprised to learn about you? I won a limo trip to Rochester to see New Found Glory when I turned 16, courtesy of KROCK!

6.) The senior superlative you would have won in high school would be: High school is a distant memory I’d like to forget.

As the Operations Manager for ESPN Syracuse & Utica, Paulie is in charge of all of the sports talk and play-by-play programming you love to listen to and debate along with during your work day. He’s also the engineer for the Syracuse football and basketball broadcasts, in partnership with the Syracuse Learfield/IMG radio network.

Brittney Christie – Galaxy Events – Sales Manager

Brittney Christie is the Sales Manager for Galaxy Events, meaning she’s one of the people that brings our ever-popular signature events to life. Whether you love Taste of Syracuse, our Wine and Chocolate Festivals, Lights on the Lake, or others, Brittney is one of the people to thank. She finds creative ways to incorporate local businesses into these events in a way that makes sense for both business owner and attendee. Her outgoing, what’s-not-to-love nature make her a hit with clients, who view her as both a friend and a trusted marketing resource. Outside of work, she’s a devoted wife and is a mom to Emma and Parker.

4.) What could the world use more of? Less selfish people. In my opinion, people have become very consumed with themselves and their needs that they forget that not every person can afford to be “happy” like they are. So as individuals we need to take more time out to help those who struggle to help themselves. Instead of standing by and pointing and laughing and making up your own story, why not stop to ask that person their story and help them out. You NEVER know what is truly going on in someone else’s life.
5.) What’s one thing someone might be surprised to learn about you? I delivered my son Parker all by myself, no nurses, and no doctors. I am Super Woman!

One of the rare owner/operators who came up through the programming side of the business, Ed is passionate about merging quality, local programming with community-focused events to provide real value to listeners in our communities. The variety in his job is what he loves, explaining that he goes from talking with brand managers about music to planning events in other cities to giving Coach Boeheim advice about the zone. We’re pretty sure he’s kidding about that last part, though the two are actually friends. Like any great baseball manager (he’s a die-hard Yankees fan) Ed loves fostering young talent and helping these professionals to grow into impactful leaders within the organization. His passion for local radio and events is evident within the first few minutes of meeting Ed and will leave you hoping that you have a career you love just as much as he loves his.

Company name

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
