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.

I Can’t Wait To Go To Cuba!
I know some of my conservative friends will disagree with this and want the travel and economic embargo kept in place because Cuba is still a communist dictatorship. I understand that sentiment. If the idea is that our embargo will somehow cripple their economy and cause them to change their system it hasn't worked for 53 years now...
All My Flat Surfaces Turn Into Catch-Alls
I am a person that should have a home with no tables... coffee tables, dining tables, end tables, desks etc. because every one of them turns into a catch-all. Whatever is in my pockets I empty out, it's where I set down all of my bills and I leave empty cups...

This Is Why They Call Montana Big Sky Country
