I am originally from Los Angeles, but grew up in Edmonton, Alberta. In between I spent two years of my childhood in Montana. One in Great Falls and the other in Havre. My mom married a Canadian when I was 9, and we moved to Canada. Because the winters in Edmonton were too damn cold, I moved back to California once I was 21. My radio career has taken me to Casa Grande, Ariz., and to Palm Springs, Fresno and San Luis Obispo, Calif., and back to Edmonton, and Yakima. I play poker, basketball and flag football in my free time. My claim to fame is that my wife Monica is sisters with the former Miss El Salvador 1996, who came in sixth in that year's Miss Universe competition. Of course I think my wife is prettier than her sister! I also have a 12-year-old daughter named Noel who is in junior high and was the fifth-grade champion high jumper.

I Wish My Lawn Looked Like The Grass At Seattle Seahawks Training Camp
Todd and I went to Seahawks training camp last week and the first thing I noticed when I got there was how amazing their grass was. Uniform rich green color, perfectly mowed and not a single weed in what appeared to be about 5 acres. I was super jealous as , no matter how hard I work, I've never been able to get my lawn to look this nice...
In Yakima, You Can’t Escape The 12s, Part Deux
Last week I shared with you a badass Seahawk-logoed car. In another blog I did back in March I pointed out that it's nearly impossible to go more than a couple of hundred yards in any direction and not see a "12" of some kind (homemade or otherwise) in Yakima...
I Hope This Kid Got Richard Sherman’s Autograph
Todd and I went to the Seattle Seahawks training camp on Tuesday along with about 1,500 fans. Then there is this kid, who is obviously a very dedicated Richard Sherman fan. If we're to believe his sign, he traveled (converting metric to the English system for you) 3,682 miles which means he's either from the most northern reaches of Canada or San Jose, Costa Rica...
Seattle Seahawks Training Camp Was A Blast!
I've never attended an NFL training camp... until yesterday. With about 1500 fans in attendance Todd and I got to interview and rub elbows with Seahawks players and coaching staff. The toughest part about being in the media is you have to curb your natural tendency to be a fan boy and geek out but I was definitely doing that on the inside...
In Yakima You Can’t Escape The 12’s
In a blog I wrote on March 12th I talked about many of the homemade displays of Seahawks "12" logos you'll find throughout the Yakima Valley. Ironically Todd and I just drove back yesterday afternoon after a day at the Seattle Seahawks training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton when, just before we turn into the Townsquare Media parking lot, we spot this car proudly pe
Rare Ken Griffey Jr./Ichiro Suzuki ‘Coopertown Bound’ Bobblehead
I went to Pike's Place Market over the weekend and found this Ken Griffey Jr./Ichiro Suzuki double bobblehead doll at a secondhand store. Turns out it's quite rare and valuable, so if you're a Mariners fan it's time for a ROAD TRIP!
Recycle Your Cans, Plastic Bottles And Cardboard Here In The West Valley
The city of Yakima only provides a single can for all of our trash -- unlike the city of Seattle, where you get cans for regular garbage, recycled items (cans, bottles, cardboard etc.) and another can for yard clippings and grass. So if you want to be a good citizen and conservationist in Yakima, you can go downtown and make a couple of bucks on your bottles and cans BUT if you just want to dispos
House Fire 1/2 Block East Of Bonnie Doon & 38th Ave. In Yakima
A huge house fire broke out at a home just east of Bonnie Doon & 38th Avenues in Yakima this morning. The Yakima Fire Department dispatched 3 fire engines and an ambulance to the area while the Yakima Police Department blocked off traffic half a block south and north of that intersection along 38th Ave...
According To One Website Kate Hudson Is Moving To Yakima
Daily News 11 (whatever that is) is reporting that Kate Hudson is moving to Yakima. Yes, our Yakima! Supposedly she's tired of the L.A. rat race and would like to live somewhere quieter. Is it true? Who knows? If she likes wine, floating the river and Mexican food she found the right place...
