My family moved to Oregon in the summer of 1971 after my father had finished his Air Force duty. I was born at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona. Then he left his father's paving business in Southern California to start his own business in what he always called "The Promised Land" of Oregon. We loved this place from the moment we got here! We started in Albany in the Mid-Willamette Valley then moved to Redmond and finally to Salem. I went to high school in Redmond and finished in Salem then went on to college in Newberg at what was then, George Fox College majoring in History. I finished with my Bachelor of Science in History at what was then called Southern Oregon State College in Ashland. My broadcast career started with a college station in 1979. Then continued at stations in Medford, Ashland, Dallas, Coos Bay, Roseburg, Hilo Hawaii, Lahaina Hawaii, Bend, Prineville and now in Salem-Keizer. Being a deejay was my life's dream, I love music and I love talking so I did that for 30 years but found a real calling in Conservative Talk Radio.
