It's been a wild, crazy, busy time lately. A few things have been happening, both good and bad, but it's called life.
First and foremost, I hope you have a Happy New Year!
2012 has been interesting. I'm ready for 2013.
Recently I made a few changes...
Zack Skyler has been a name that I've used in my media world for over 20 years. I began using that name, while in high school, working at a radio station in Wabash called WAYT. They had a guy with my name working there and using that name on the air. The name: David Eppley. It was at that moment in 1989 that I began using Zack Skyler as my air name. It's a name I've used throughout my whole radio career since, due to mainly Program Directors liking the Zack Skyler name and it just stuck. I used it while doing some tv work in Indy, while doing radio work in Fort Wayne during the 90's. I'd go to Indy over weekends and shoot these tv shows, specials, programs, marathons etc. A lot of fun stuff. I did the radio work in Fort Wayne through the week. That was in the 90's. A fun period in my life. I would have used my real name from the beginning, but again, it was a change I had to make. It beings me to the change I am making now. Zack is David/David is Zack. It's just a name. My personality is the same. I feel like now, I'd rather just use my real name. So, I scrapped my Zack Skyler Facebook page and posted a link to my David Eppley page, so those that wanted to go with me there could. Some did, some did not. I'm using my Twitter with my real name @DavidAEppley. Basically, it's still the same me, but now with my name.
I'm not sure I'm going to do radio, television or anything else in media again. I have a real love/hate thing with much of it. It's the thing, besides my family...kids, folks etc., that I have always had such a passion for. My feelings aren't the same as they we're when it was something I wanted to do, but I still care about it.
Most of my time over the years has been in Fort Wayne working. I spent many years in Orlando and a some time in Minneapolis. I enjoyed it all. I came back to Indiana, due to my folks and they needed help from me. It's a health thing. I care about all those around me and family is number one.
I'm not sure what 2013 will bring, but I know I will be hoping for the best and prepare for the worst. I love life and try to be real, honest, fun and treat people well who treat me well.
I had a nice Christmas and have been kinda quiet via all of my social media networks, including this one. My Pop has been going through some tough stuff with his health and my mind has been on focusing on family. I think anyone would understand. I hope so anyway.
I wish you happiness.
Happy New Year!
