About Me


Myspace Layouts and SO much more from WhateverLife.com! ?
whateverlife.comI play songs and talk on the radio for a living. Some might call me a DJ, others call me a "jock" or Radio Personality. I work for KILT in Houston, Texas-but many of you have found me due to my work with Westwood One, the biggest radio syndication company in the world. I host the "Country Gold" request show every weekend, and a series of specials on around 300 radio stations worldwide.I grew up in the H-E-B suburbs in between Dallas and Ft. Worth. I am a 1987 graduate of L.D. Bell High School in Hurst, Texas- where most would not recognize me by my current name. But I really don't look that different.

My Interests

Broadcasting, Outdoor Cooking, Travel, Classic Cars,

I'd like to meet:

Fans, my fellow radio buddies and long lost friends.

Music:

Country would be tops. Not only do I play 'em, I know 'em all. I have posted pics of some of the biggies, and more are on the way. I also love pop and rock tunes from the 60-'80's, Blink 182, Green Day, Collective Soul, Dave Matthews, Three Doors Down.

Movies:

Armageddon, Tombstone, Wyatt Earp and Runaway Jury would be my favorites. My favorite actor right now would have to be Vince Vaughn. Loved him in Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball and Starsky & Hutch. Plus, he dated Jennifer Aniston.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Two and Half Men, Frasier and M*A*S*H re-runs. News Junkie. CNN and KPRC Channel 2.

Books:

Not much of a reader. My Mom says it is because I have such a shor, uh, what was the question?

Heroes:

My Dad, Joe Holstead. Awesome radio newscaster and hell of a cook.
