I am originally from Los Angeles, but grew up in Edmonton, Alberta. In between I spent two years of my childhood in Montana. One in Great Falls and the other in Havre. My mom married a Canadian when I was 9, and we moved to Canada. Because the winters in Edmonton were too damn cold, I moved back to California once I was 21. My radio career has taken me to Casa Grande, Ariz., and to Palm Springs, Fresno and San Luis Obispo, Calif., and back to Edmonton, and Yakima. I play poker, basketball and flag football in my free time. My claim to fame is that my wife Monica is sisters with the former Miss El Salvador 1996, who came in sixth in that year's Miss Universe competition. Of course I think my wife is prettier than her sister! I also have a 12-year-old daughter named Noel who is in junior high and was the fifth-grade champion high jumper.

Refinishing Furniture Is Hard When You Don’t Know What You’re Doing!
This Saturday I went on my weekly troll of the Magic City's thrift stores. For the first time in ages I didn't find anything worthy of spending money on BUT I did find a cool Mid-Century Modern petit desk at the Montana Rescue Mission Store on 24th just south of Grand Avenue...
Vehicles Towed At Farmers Market In Downtown Billings
If you plan on partying in Downtown Billings on any Friday night in the next several weeks and have to leave your car parked here overnight make sure you come pick it up first thing in the morning... and by first thing I mean 5am. Above are the tickets of 4 vehicles that were towed today so vendors could set up in the spaces they previously purchased...
The Ultimate Ghetto Snack
Have you ever looked in your refrigerator to see what was left and not have everything you need to make one of the recipes you might normally produce? One night I turned macaroni, tomato sauce, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese into a poor man's lasagna mac n cheese bake thing and it was pretty good actually...

Fruit Recall At Costco, Sam’s Club And WalMart Stores in Billings
One of my favorite things about summer is a cool refreshing fruit salad but make sure you know who packed the fruit you're eating tonight... or go for the ice cream for dessert instead. Wawona Packing Company has voluntarily issued a recall of all peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots that were packed at their warehouse in Cutler, CA...
Captain Crunch French Toast & Beer… This Is Why Cat Country Is The Greatest Place To Work Ever!
So this morning I went through my typical routine of drinking an iced mocha and working out with an hour and 3 minutes of cardio training. Then I came to work still hungry and a local restaurant was serving up CAPTAIN CRUNCH FRENCH TOAST! I'm not sure who the evil genius is who thought that up but I have a suggestion for him or her...
Famous People Who Live Or Have Lived In Montana
I've always wondered how millions upon millions of people can live in crap holes like Los Angeles and hardly anyone lives in Montana. Sure the weather is better and the beach is close but it seems like the crime, smog and ridiculously high prices more than outweigh the benefits...
Which Direction Should The Toilet Paper Go?
Over the top or in behind? I've always thought the obvious answer was over the top. It's easy to access when your reaching for it (even with your eyes shut) as it's just hanging right there.
My Thrift Store Find Of The Week
Years ago watching American Pickers gave me the bug for buying and selling. Unfortunately I was terrible at it... initially. I bought a Radio Flyer scooter from the early 1950's for $45 and sold it for $20... a $25 loss. One of the reasons I did so poorly is that I had no passion for the things I was buying and I hadn't researched the real value...
Billings: City Of All-Stars!
Okay the title of my post might be a little misleading but I'm going overboard to congratulate former Billings Mustang and current Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion who was selected to play for the American League in tomorrow nights' MLB All-Star game...
How To Control Your Teenagers Without Raising Your Voice Even Once
First I'd like to tip my hat to the parents whose kids get good grades because they study hard and who do their chores when asked. Unfortunately not all kids are that well behaved. Some pay their parents lip service to doing homework, cleaning their rooms etc. then logon to YouTube or text with their friends. Meanwhile others are openly defiant.
