He has appeared on various television shows, including Dick Clark's "Bloopers & Practical Jokes" and "The Drew Carey Show."

Birthday: June 18
Began at K-EARTH: January 3, 2006
What led me to K-EARTH 101: I always wanted to work at K-Earth, but there never seemed to be an opening. So for over 17 years I was associated with KOST, where I co-created the Lovesongs program as Program Director of the station. I also oversaw the programming of KBIG, where I hired Charlie Tuna to be the morning host.
What I would be doing if I wasn't at K-EARTH 101: Listening to K-Earth 101! (And directing and editing video-my other profession.)
My Funniest Radio Story: Reading news on an LA station called KUTE 102 while having the hiccups! I couldn't stop them from happening several times during each story.
