Seattle is my hometown. The Northwest is my playground. I've truly become a product of my environment. Is there a better venue for me then to share it with you than here on "Sunrise Seattle"? Now include the wonderful smile and talent of Elisa Jaffe and you give me an OMG challenge of lifetime to create something that has never been done before. Something on radio that leaves you feeling better for where you live, who you are, and where you are in life.

My roots of Queen Anne High, Edgewater Hotel, Lake Union Air, then to hit the radio road that moved me to Colfax, Shelton, Spokane and back to Seattle. Youngest of seven I am, Dad was a test pilot and flight training at Boeing (following his PBY being shot down in WWll), Mom created one of Seattle's first women consignment shops (Mary's Pop'Ins).

My wonder years were Hydroplanes, JP Patches (I emcee'd his last public performance as I am the only Seattle kid that never made it on his show), Nightmare Theater, Bobo, and Namu. The Worlds Fair (Seattle and Spokane), Dags, Dicks, and Black Angus (Elliott Ave). Lets not forget the music of Merilee Rush, Paul Revere and The Raiders, The Kingsmen, The Sonics, Fabulous Wailers, Heart, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, REM, and Jimi! Yes, there is a story about The Ventures and I too! The Seattle Sea Gals, Deadliest Catch. Lake Chelan, Crystal Mt, Potholes and Mt Rainier. Two "First Place" awards in Opening Day of Boating Parade and I was a 5 year veteran with the Seafair Pirates.

Now you’re getting a taste of "Sunrise Seattle". Grab your cup and Elisa and I will meet you for a smile every weekday on 570 KVI.
