If you’ve been to a Thunder game in the last couple of years, you might know who this man is. “Jungle Jim” energizes Stockton Arena during Thunder home games as the “Fun Guy” emcee with his exciting and charming personality. Throughout the event, you’ll find him hosting videoboard contests, conducting live interviews with Thunder players and keeping smiles on the faces of fans.
You can also hear him each weekday morning from 5-9 a.m. on the “D.J. Walker In the Morning” show on KAT Country 103. In addition to playing country hits, the show features fan contests, the “Kat Birthday Club” and a spotlight called “Hometown Heroes” where listeners can nominate special individuals in their life who go above and beyond.
Jungle Jim also posts regular podcasts of his “adventures” with Thunder players and interviews with well-known celebrities and recording artists.
Though Jungle Jim’s favorite genre of music is undeniably country, his iPod features an eclectic mix of classic rock, alternative, soul, hip-hop, jazz and metal.
