Bio: Everybody always wants to know more about me, the author. 
Like most cases, I have always had a hard time talking about myself
since I feel my life is kind of boring. I was born in the mid-seventies
as a fourth child. I found radio calling me when I was young, at the
age of ten. Some friends and I on Vashon Island, Washington, USA
ended up doing interviews of teachers and the school librarian and
put it on a friend’s small radio station with a one mile radius. I must
say that those friends ended up very big in television, I stuck with
radio broadcasting.

In 1990, I went to my high school radio station in Gig Harbor,
Washington, USA called Peninsula High School. There, I learned the
basics of radio broadcasting. I graduated in 1993, and then went to
Bates Technical College in 1994 to learn about broadcasting and
broadcast engineering. This includes both television and radio. The
television in Tacoma, Washington was a PBS affiliate.

While I was at KBTC (Bates Technical College), I was laid off
from the K-2 Corporation where I helped print the skis and saw a
job opening at KJUN (The Country Gold Network). After a month
of no pay, I went to KIRO-AM (news and talk) as a board operator
and a producer for the weekend. This expanded from a simple
fishing/hunting program to every other show. From there, I went to
other radio stations that the company owned such as KNWX (news
and business talk) and on to KQBZ (The Buzz, a talk station for
guys). I worked on the morning shows and eventually moved on to
Michigan.

I went to work WKLQ in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Since I hated
working with certain set of people, I quit my job and moved to
Ocean Shores with my parents. In Ocean Shores, Washington, USA,
I co-founded a radio station called KOSW-LPFM. All radio stations
I worked eventually were sold, changed formats, shut down, ratings
dropped except KGHP-FM (my high school radio station) and
KOSW-LPFM in which I only quit these organizations (never been
fired from a radio station).

While I was in Ocean Shores and through Aberdeen,
Washington, I attended Grays Harbor College, a community college
with the full purpose of learning history. After three years of Grays
Harbor College, I am currently at The Evergreen State College with
same full purpose of learning about history and historical research.
In fall quarter of 2008, I attended The University of St. Andrews in
St. Andrews, Scotland, UK for approximately three months.

Currently, at the time of this book being written, I am searching
a Graduate School with the ultimate career goal of archives or
teaching. While I was in college, I wrote a total of three books, Ty
Roseynose: A Documentary, Ty’s Book of Rubbish: Volume 20, and Ty’s
Book of Rubbish: Volume 19. I guess I should also add this book: Ty’s
BIG BOOK of Rubbish: An Omnibus, the final of my books.

Cheers,

Ty Rosenow
