Early life and career

Born and raised in Garfield Heights, Ohio, Kolodny attended John Carroll University where he was a DJ and Production Director for the university's radio station, WJCU. While attending college, Kolodny began working at Cleveland, Ohio's heritage rock station, WMMS. Kolodny developed a presence on The Maxwell Show, a popular afternoon talk show, which led to more work as a weekend DJ.

In the fall of 2010, Kolodny moved to New York City to work directly for the Morning Show. Since then, he has been the Morning Show's "Creative Services Director" while also contributing on-air with various topics, Phone Taps and bits like The Josh Pit Mosh Pit and Out-of-Tune Name-That-Tune. [3]
