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.

Knock Off Mazerati Isn’t Fooling Anybody
Way back in 1992 I took a trip to Ensenada, Mexico with a friend of mine that it would be safe to say was a shopaholic. So we found ourselves in a shopping district that catered to suckers... er, tourists. The kind of place where the jewelers had to pour acid on cheap metal and then on their gold necklaces to prove they were real gold...
Awesome Home Design At Montana Thrift Store Prices
I've been writing about my thrift store finds here for the last year and a half. I've found some awesome items for bargain basement prices... sometimes even lower than what's on the tags at the thrift stores themselves (partly due to being a regular and developing relationships with the folks that work there)...
Thrift Store Merchandise, Saks Fifth Avenue Prices
So I did my traditional Saturday trolling of the local thrift stores to find my favorite stuff... mid-century modern furniture. Usually I find the best stuff for my taste and St. Vincent De Paul first and Montana Rescue Mission second. Rarely do I go to Habitat for Humanity's Thrift Store but things have been lean lately so I decided to go check it out...
Ghetto Snacks
I was a latchkey kid when I was 9 because my mom worked as a mail sorter at the Havre, MT post office, sometimes until 9 at night. More often than not she had a pre-made meal ready for me to heat up in the oven for dinner time. We're talking 1973 so it was before there was a microwave in every home...
Montana Avenue Is Saf-er Than It Used To Be
The pic above was taken last week right in front of my loft apartment building on Montana Ave. When I moved here about 2 and a half years ago long time Billings residents told me that where I live used to be skid row and that the redevelopment of the historic district has vastly improved the neighborhood...
Greatest PJ’s Ever
So I was on vacation on the west coast a couple of weeks ago and forgot my pajamas. So I had to make a late night run to find some. Walmart, if you can believe it, wasn't open at 11pm. So naturally I went to Albertson's. I have to tell you their fashion section leaves something to be desired...
