Mike Brant not only wakes up New Jersey on-air every Sunday morning, he's also an award-winning content creator for New Jersey 101.5. Having worn many hats throughout his broadcasting career, Mike began his days at New Jersey 101.5 in 2010 as in intern traveling around the state with the Jersey Prize Team. Since then, Mike has played the role of talk show producer, production assistant, promotions coordinator, and commercial traffic manager. A lifelong Jersey Shore resident, Mike graduated from Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ, and won the top management award for his outstanding organizational leadership skills in his role as program director at WMCX, Monmouth Universities student-run radio station. When not writing content or prepping for his on-air shift, Mike enjoys getting outdoors and spending time at home with his wonderful wife and twin sons, along with the family cat and dog. Even though Mike loves to interact with his listeners and readers, he feels there's no better job for him than simply being a great father and husband for his family. Feel free to reach out to Mike anytime you hear him on the air.
