Nearly a decade later, he leads a team with a proven track record of success and has woven himself into the fabric of the industry. Many in the business were just getting to know him when he sat for this interview the fi rst time ahead of his fi rst Country Radio Seminar experience.

JE: My perception has changed because the business has evolved and continues its transformation. And I don’t say this lightly, but I’m just happy I’m here 10 years later, because I came into the gig with evi- dence of having leadership skills, but zero evidence I could run a country record label. I didn’t have a deep knowledge of the current state of country music. I know – and still do – a bit more about the Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, The Outlaws and those eras of country music because I was the drummer in a country band when I was in high school. I did it purely for the money, then found myself attracted to all those wonderful old songs.

    JRSAJustice Research and Statistics Association SAC Publication digest Volume XXXII January - June 2020 Y=a+bX Justice Research and Statistics Association SAC Publication Digest Vol. XXXII The Justice Research and Statistics Association (JRSA) is a national, nonprofit organization dedicated to the use of nonpartisan research and analysis to inform criminal and juvenile justice decision making. We are comprised of a network of researchers and practitioners throughout government, academia, and the justice community. At the core of this network are state Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs), which are units or agencies at the state level that use information from all components of the criminal justice system to conduct objective analyses informing policy and practice at the state and local levels. While most SACs are housed within their State Administering Agency (SAA), the location of SAAs varies from state to state. Of the SACs located outside of government agencies, all but one are located within academic institutions. The remaining SAC is a registered non-profit public benefit corporation. 1 Justice Research and Statistics Association SAC Publication Digest Vol. XXXII SAC Publication Digest – Volume XXXII The SAC Publication Digest is a comprehensive collection of abstracts of state Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) reports, including reports produced for the SACs by outside authors or organizations. The Digest briefly describes the publications published by each SAC during this period and covers a wide array of justice topics and analysis approaches not available from any other source. The Digest is a resource for anyone concerned with understanding the current major justice issues as well as the administration of justice in the states.
