Yes, that is my real name. Here's the story. My mom Geri met my dad Michael in 1972. The got married in 1978. They wanted a baby. Procreation ensued. (Gross to think about your parents that way huh?) Anyway, I popped out in the 80's and became the perfect child. We moved from the San Francisco Bay area to Northern Nevada at a young, ripe age. So this story didn't really explain how I got my name, but bottom line, my mom liked the weather. Fair enough?
I went to school in Nevada, college in Las Vegas, and now I am here in Indianapolis, playing on the radio. Cool story, huh? That's about it. I like talking to peeps like you, so never be afraid to call. Oh, and I've been on the radio since I was 13. That's a neat little fact. I sucked back then, so you can tell nothing has changed.
In my free time, I love listening to music. I love the Dave Matthews Band. Love them. I like to drive too. Sometimes I'll just drive to get away. It's convenient that you can drive and listen to music at the same time. I used to drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles for no real reason. Weird, huh? Yeah, Las Vegas will do that to you.
I play a lot of PS2 and the UNLV Rebels are the best football team ever, even though they don't like to win. I don't think it's an issue of not 'liking' to win per se but more of they can't win.
I like baseball too. The San Francisco Giants are my favorite team and I think they are waaaaaay better than the Dodgers. Definitely.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER:
Currently accepting application for all positions.
DO I WANT CHILDREN?
Only so they can call and harass the local radio DJ.
BAD HABITS:
I work too hard sometimes. I'm at work on a Sunday writing this. Sometimes I just can't break away.
SOMETHING I'M PROUD OF:
I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in only 3.5 years. Most people do it in a little over 4 years. But I miss college a lot. :(
ONE THING I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT:
I am a sucker for Ice Cream. Any type. If you ever want to surprise me, ICE CREAM WILL MAKE MY DAY!
WHAT MAKES ME MAD:
People who stop walking right in front of you at the mall. I fricking HATE THAT!
FAVORITE TV SHOW:
Outside of 'Baseball Tonight' on ESPN, anything on A&E or that SurvivorMan on the Discovery Channel.
FAVORITE MUSIC:
I listen to EVERYTHING! The Beatles, Beach Boys, Chicago, Hall and Oates to Zapp and Roger, 2Pac, Notorious BIG and Jay-Z. Love them all.
I also graduated from college by writing a paper on the social and cultural impact the Beatles had on America in the 1960's.
FAVORITE CONCERT:
Every year, Dave Matthews Band gets better and better. This year's Friday night show at Verizon was OFF THE CHAIN!
FAVORITE WEBSITE:
TMZ.com is cool or even thesmokinggun.com
FAVORITE SAYING:
"Oh, werd?" (Pron. 'word'. That's a west coast thing.)
FAVORITE QUOTE:
"I'll tell you where. Someplace warm. A place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen."
"Oh, I don't know, Lloyd. The French are a**holes.
MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT:
I once say Elvis Presley for my 6th grade talent show and forgot all the words infront of THE WHOLE SCHOOL. It was bad. Friends still remind me of that to this day.
MOST PAINFUL EXPERIENCE:
I've had all my wisdon teeth out but it wasn't super bad. I guess knowing that someone you cared about cheated on you and lied about it. That's pretty painful.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME BACK FROM PAST:
I still love the sound quality of vinyl records. If kept in the best condition, they sound great. I wish I could buy more vinyl of today's music.
MOST MEMORABLE ROAD TRIP:
Moving here from Oklahoma was pretty bad. Everything that went wrong... did.
FAVORITE PLACE I'VE TRAVELED:
Mexico was pretty cool. Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, San Diego... all places I'd love to go back to.
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IT'D BE:
The beaches of San Diego. I'd be a total beach bum.
FRIDAY NIGHT HANG OUT:
It all varies. It depends how much Marco and Nigel have already had to drink and how long I have to catch up (since I don't get off til 10pm). Broadripple probably, downtown outside of that.
FIRST JOB:
I used to deliever newspapers at 5am when I was in middle school. I think that lasted about 6 months before I decided being on the radio would be cooler.
WHY I WANTED TO BE A DJ: I've been in the radio since I was 13 and I have loved every minute of it. How cool is all that stuff that comes out of the dash of your car? That's why I got into it.
This is my hometown... Minden, Nevada.
