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.

It’s Impossible To Lose Weight Working In An Office
Since January I've been working out regularly. I do an hour and 3 minutes of cardio in the morning and every 3 or 4 days I do pushups or push weights. For the better part of the first 6 months I started working out I was really good about watching what I ate but working here on the 23rd floor of the Crowne Plaza for Townsquare Media is a daily exercise (see how I did that) in avoiding sugary, ric
