 Mornings on Classical 102.1 KDFC
5am - 11am
Hometown: San Anselmo. My mom's family has been in the Ross Valley since the 1850's.
Other places lived: San Diego, St. Louis and Portland
Education: Almost seven years of college searching for a degree I never found. Studied: Film and broadcasting.
Family: Middle child in a close family. Married to my great love, Jacqueline. Father of two daughters, Jody and Justine. Jody has just graduated UCSC and is off to Costa Rica to continue her studies of Spanish. Justine is based in Santa Cruz doing course work in Life 101.
Hobbies: Who has time for them! As a homeowner I have turned into a "handy-man" and that keeps me pretty busy patching up a hundred-year-old house.
Other interests: TRAVEL! When I can, I escape to the friendly skies with my flight attendant wife for a long weekend in some foreign
country...like Turkey!  
(Okay, that took over a week)
Current favorite book: A PIRATE OF EXQUISITE MIND: THE LIFE OF WILLIAM DAMPIER, EXPLORER, NATURALIST AND BUCCANEER By Diana and Michael Preston. It's a fascinating look at our world three centuries ago.
Current favorite movie: Whatever's next on our Netflix list.
Favorite classic film: "It's a Wonderful Life." We all need to be reminded now and then.
Favorite sport: Like to sail, especially alone in a small boat when it's just you against the wind.
Favorite composers: Bach - for his precise counterpoint; Wagner - for his "huge" sound; Vaughan Williams - for capturing most things "English" so well; Chopin - for showing the piano how to sing so intimately. Also love the music of Cole Porter, Sinatra, Diana Krall, Stephane Grappelli, Bill Evans.
Passion for: Cooking. I think it's time for some classes on technique. Haven't poisoned anyone...yet.
What would I do for a living if not on air?: I really haven't a clue. I love what I do and so fortunate to still have the chance to do it!
Best thing about living in the Bay Area: The overwhelming sense of "home" I feel here and there is so much to see and do. They should make weekends longer so we can fit all the fun in.
