Born in the Bronx, but raised in New Hampshire... Dave is yet another New England transplant living in Florida. Dave comes to WINK most recently from Bangor, Maine but his radio roots actually began in Florida at WUCF on the campus of the University of Central Florida, where he graduated from in 2000. From there Dave moved to Orlando's heritage News/Talk station, WDBO, where he was your typical anchor-reporter-producer-web updater-problem solver. After over 5 years in the Orlando market, Dave took a job as an assistant News Director at WQCB in Bangor to be closer to his family. Not long after his move to Maine, Dave married his longtime girlfriend, and not long after that they were expecting the birth of their first child. So The Rode Clan decided to relocate to Florida to be near his wife's family... and that's when WINK News came calling.
