I really love listening to 96.5 KOIT. It especially makes me feel good when I’m driving with my kids and we can all sing along to songs from Journey, Michael Jackson all the way to Harry Styles and Justin Bieber. I am the proud father of (4) boys Dallas, Tyler, William and Jackson. I’m also married to my beautiful wife Leticia we have 2 old English bulldogs named appropriately Rocky & Apollo.

When I’m not working on 96.5 KOIT you can find me teaching judo at Lakeridge Athletic Club in El Sobrante in the east bay. I get a kick out of passing on and teaching this amazing Japanese martial art that has taken me all over the world and provided me an opportunity to go to college at San Jose State (GOOOO SPARTANS).  I must admit being in Radio for so many years has spoiled me into naming all the concerts I’ve been to, but the last concert was pretty epic my wife and I got to see Elton John at Levis Stadium.

 I’m a Bay Area Native and some of my favorite bay area events include Bay to Breakers, Fleet Week and the Pride Parade. I’ve also never been to Alcatraz… lol. Restaurants I love around the bay include House of Prime Rib, Gary Danko and Ceron Kitchen in Alameda. I’m a guy from the bay area that’s been blessed in so many ways to do what I love every day and share it with my listeners. I get to meet some very cool people along the way and share some of these stories either on the radio or on social media. Join me and let’s have some fun!
