Default Homeless man with Golden Voice

This story has been going on for about a week. A news team in Columbus, Ohio hears about a homeless man begging for money on a local interstate. They send someone out to see what is all the fuss. Lo and behold the man has a very gifted radio style voice. I could sleep to that voice every night. Anyways, he is given a 2nd chance and is now has a home and job provided by the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Just listen to that voice once you will not regret it.

Here is his story:

Just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Man good for him. I like to see when these things work out. The human spirit can be a tough thing to break.

The lesson here though is no drugs and alcohol! With that i'm gonna go rip a few shots and see where my Thursday afternoon takes me.

I'm trying to remember who he sounds like - certainly one of the current radio announcers in the States.
Clearly he has abilities beyond a voice - dayum - 9 kids
The arrests were I hope when he had the drug problem - it happens a lot ....................
Good luck to him - I'd be keen to hear his first broadcast if anyone can find it......................
