That giving part of his personality has made his 30-plus years in radio very successful. Listeners in St. Louis made quick friends with Mike while he was at radio station WIL, and audiences in Cleveland appreciated his witty style and on-air friendliness during a stint at WGAR. Mike joined Oldies Radio in 1989 and prior to that, he did the morning drive at KMGC, Dallas. "Radio personalities are the unpaid psychiatrists of the world," jokes Mike. "We try to make people feel better about the world every single day." Preston knows what he’s talking about.

"I love talking to them. I love playing the Oldies." Off the air, Mike spends his free time working with charities. He’s also a serious family man who is devoted to his wife and three children.
