Career highlights: Have owned, operated and managed radio stations. On-air various formats - Talk radio is my favorite.
Best job: Other than hosting the Morning Show on Talk 980 K-USA -- it would have to be a tie between my first radio gig at a little radio combo in Wenatchee - country music on the am dial and rock on the FM. I had more hair then --- and my time as President of Stephenson Broadcasting, Inc - as owner/operator/general manager/morning show host/janitor of a station my wife and I owned in the early to mid 90's.
Worst job: Stock room slave at Peoples Department Store - in the summer of 1976. Though I am still grateful to Mr. Fabian for giving me the job - as it was a good experience and made me appreciate every other job I've had since! (wonder whatever happened to the curmudgeon stock room mgr Mrs. Boone? What a beast!)
Fav movie: Raging Bull. I was a theatre projectionist when the movie came out - and I saw it 80 times. Sheesh - and I still like it.
Fav book: The Holy Bible. Currently studying the Orthodox New Testament - a two volume set -- I The Gospels and II The Acts, Epistles and Revelation. Only published a few years ago in the U.S. - it's considered by many to be the best translation from the Greek - with voluminous notes to study - from many of the Holy Fathers and scholars of the Church throughout the years.
Fav website: YouTube.com. and of course - Talk980KUSA.com.
Worst website: That's a little like asking about someones least favorite grain of sand.
Fav food: Prime Rib (well-browned end-cut please)
Worst food: Succotash
Fav bands: Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Dweebish Band.
Wife? Kids?: One wife - Lori, three children - daughters Emily and Tara -- son Casey - two granddaughters- Anna and Isabella.
Pets: Timmy Tom, Yoda & Princess are cool cats and Chiquita is a lovable yet gender/species dysphoric Shih-Tzu.
Fav saying: "They ought to bring back the whipping post"! (my great grandmother - circa 1930)
Pet Peeve: Weather too cold for playing golf.
