Weekends

I was born and raised in West Pittsburg (now Bay Point). I went to Mt. Diablo High School in Concord.

I wanted to do radio because of a family friend who worked in the business. I would go to the studio and watch him do his show. I couldn’t believe he got paid to play music and joke around with listeners. I knew right then this is what I wanted to do.

Doing this job means you’re going to move a few times. I’ve lived in Salinas, Modesto, Fresno, LA, Phoenix, Atlanta and Orlando. That said, there is nothing quite like THE BAY!

Some fun facts: I graduated from California Culinary Academy with a degree in Culinary Arts (means I can cook a little). I have a teenage nephew that I enjoy spending time with and spoiling him with new sneakers.
