My Bio-logy...
My name is DC, but my real name is Darrin Carlson. I do the morning show on B97/B93 in Hilo, Hawaii broadcasting to the entire Big Island. (and rumor has it, parts of Maui).My long strange trip begins in Davenport, Iowa in 1965. That's where I was born. When I was thirteen my family moved all of us to beautiful Loveland, Colorado where I lived until I was twenty. I began my radio career there in 1983 just months after graduation from high school. I worked at KLOV in Loveland, then moved on to QUAD 99 (KUAD) in Windsor (now called K99).
In 1985, I got the opportunity to move to Hilo, Hawaii where I planned to stay for about a year, where I was sure they could use my expertise. My over-sized ego realized quickly that Hawaii didn't really need me, but welcomed me with open arms anyway. Then something about me and Hawaii just clicked and I stayed, doing mornings at KBIG FM, sister station to QUAD 99. It didn't hurt that I met my best friend and wife Vanessa here, too. We got married live on the radio at Mo'oheau Bandstand in June 1989 and have two teenagers, both with their own My Space accounts.
My Family
Us, Thanksgiving 2006
On December 17th, 2001 (after 16 years at KBIG), I began doing mornings at B-97 where I am totally loving it, playing classic hits from the sixties through the nineties. If your a listener, then by all means hit the ADD TO FRIENDS icon. If your an old friend from Colorado, do the same. However, you may remember me as Darrin Carlson from Thompson Valley High School. All I can say is sorry if I made fun of you during the Senior Slide Show. (C'mon, that was 1983!!) Go Eagles..

Me and Tucker

Here I am with Tucker our dog. These pomeranians are really smart. At least when it comes to words that mean "food".

Ken Hupps Christmas Decorations

My co-worker Ken Hupp (KPUA) taps into his inner Clark Griswold during the holidays. I went down to his house and captured some of his handiwork.
