DOMENIC J. COTOIA; I’m A 54-year-old Attleboro resident, married for 10 years to Carol (Parker) Cotoia and own a 7-year-old male schnoodle dog, named Bailey. I have 2 stepsons; one recently married & living in Attleboro and another, married & living in Texas with his family & our 3 grandchildren! I have many interests including listening to music of the BIG BAND ERA, the '50s & the music of the Beatles, which is my favorite group. I also enjoy many types of trivia, including television, especially shows from the '60s & the '70s, as well as knowledge of many musical groups from the oldies to some of the current artists. My background in Radio Broadcasting starts as I attended the former Rhode Island Junior College, now C.C.R.I. in Warwick, R.I. as an on-air disc jockey at their “on campus” radio station for four years, and being appointed station manager in my Junior year. While a Junior, I also attended the former Rhode Island School of Broadcasting. After graduation, interned at a few local radio stations helping out in radio sales & commercials, including WLKW. Eventually got hired at a Fall River station (WSAR) to oversee satellite music programs, and within six months later, got a call from the Program Director of Attleboro's hometown radio station (then-WARA) where I was hired to work on-air playing oldies on weekends and within just a few months, was promoted to their afternoon disc jockey, Production & music director! After some years in radio, I moved from radio to Cable Television & was employed by Comcast for 24 years. For the past 35 years, I've owned and operated a Disc Jockey company, specializing in weddings and all types of events & currently serve as the Exclusive wedding disc jockey for Country Gardens Wedding s & Events in Rehoboth, Ma
