Sean Cummins got his start with radio sitting on his grandfather’s knee and exploring the world of amateur radio. After a little dabbling during his teen years, he got his own radio show on KCSC while in college. After a couple years with KCSC in, Chico CA, followed by another break, Sean ended up working with KZFR as a board member for two and half years, serving as secretary of the board and chairing the personnel committee.Years later, Sean wound up in Oregon, where he’s been doing Reverb for KOCF since winter of 2018, and Soundsystem since winter of 2021. A lifetime lover of music, Sean also played drums in several bands over an 8 year span, recording several albums and EPs, touring the U.S. three times, the West Coast several more times, and Europe once. He also moonlighted as a concert promoter for about a decade, ran a concert calendar website, and has written music columns for local newspapers. Sean is now serving as Station Manager for KOCF.

Dean is the founding force behind KOCF — the person who turned a dream into a functioning radio station through sheer determination, technical know-how, and countless late nights. He built the station from the ground up, laying the groundwork for everything KOCF has become.

More than that, he’s the soul of the station — a living archive of its history, and a constant presence who reminds us why community radio matters.
