David O'Hara is a simple midwestern person who was drawn to New York by the allure of the Big City. After finishing at Northwestern, he felt he was ready for the big stage and moved to New York City. He held a few production assistant jobs and after about 1 year began working for WCBS 880. David enjoys working radio very much and especially enjoys working as a Tape Editor for the Yankee games.
David has always enjoyed media production and has worked as a graphic designer and managed a film office. He looks forward to working with WCBS as they move into the future of radio and web media.
