Then came and walking home from Jr. High School Trunk made his usual stop at the local record shop he passed every day with a friend. It was there that he was introduced to a record by a band called Kiss. Needless to say, like any other kid growing up in the 70s, the Kiss obsession began and still continues! As a senior in high school where he never had good grades , Trunk was asked to write a record review section for the high school newspaper. It was there that he could earn school credit, while also doing what he loved, listening to music.

A music career was born. This would not only give the high school students exposure to radio, but also enable the college students to keep the station on-air when they went home for the summer. Trunk volunteered, learning how to cue up records and run a radio board. Many of the DJs and station management often came into the record shop, and Trunk got to know many of them.

Not knowing how to handle it, the PD resisted. Trunk visited the station, did a few shows, and took the tapes to DHA. It was also around the time that heavy metal was about to explode. Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, Metallica and others were set to explode. Nobody was doing this type of specialty show, and the station was hesitant, but finally gave in.

Over the 10 years he spent at DHA all on a part-time basis , he did almost everything you could do in radio, and actually started getting paid! He ended up hosting, producing, and programming the stations hugely popular metal show, in addition to doing regular airshifts, remote broadcasts, interviews, promotions and more. It was in that Eddie was first approached by Johnny Z. Johnny was starting a record label called Megaforce, and had a few bands named Metallica and Anthrax that nobody would play!

Johnny new Eddie always embraced new artists and music and asked for his radio support. Eddie went on to work for Megaforce while still at DHA part time from , eventually becoming Vice President of the label at 25 years old. Eddie had talked Johnny Z who never was a Kiss fan into finding Ace and reviving his career. After a four-year run as a record executive, Eddie worked in artist management. Trunk had tried to sign the band to Megaforce a few years earlier and was an early supporter he was the first to ever play White Lion before they released an album.
