Mark Daughtrey

Mark Daughtrey was born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia and graduated from Lake Taylor High School. He received a B. A. from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, with a double-major in Broadcast Journalism and Theatre Arts. Mark was also a member of the first graduating class of the west coast branch of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, California in 1976.

Mark's first radio experience began in college when he did a regular air-shift on WLUR-FM in Lexington in the early 1970's. His first professional radio job was in 1979 when he worked at WLRG-FM in Roanoke, which eventually became K-92. After K-92, Mark worked as an air-personality at Q-99 in Roanoke, before moving back to the Lexington area in 1981, where he began a long association with WWZD-FM in Buena Vista, the predecessor to the current 3WZ/WREL.

In addition to radio work, Mark has been very active in local theatre productions over the past 25 years appearing in many leading roles in plays produced at Washington and Lee University's Troubadour Theatre and Lenfest Center, VMI Theatre, and Lime Kiln Theatre in Lexington. He also performed in a number of summer stock productions at Lexington's Henry Street Playhouse in the 1980s.

Mark has also operated a mobile DJ service in the Shenandoah Valley since 1989, providing music for wedding receptions, reunions, parties, and other occasions. He does occasional freelance voice-over work throughout the valley, and spent ten years as the main tour guide for the Ghost Tour of Lexington during the summer months. His hobbies include acting, photography, toy collecting, cinema history, magic, and drawing.

Mark is married to Betsy, his wife of 25 years, and they reside in Lexington with their two cats.
