About Me: I began my radio career in 1979, working with various stations across Hawai’i including KKON AM 790, KAOI Maui, B97-B93, Big Island Radio 101.5, and currently KAPA FM. I brings energy, humor, and heart to my broadcasts. I hold the world record for the longest radio broadcast at 261 hours, during which I raised $65,000 for United Way. I continue to offer a voice for the community in any way I can from beach clean ups to golf tournaments as well as community projects. In 2026 my week long “Feed A Thon” which takes place fronting KTA stores island wide will celebrate its 25th year. This year we raised over $50,000 to support the Hawai’i Island Food Basket. By gathering food and raising money for the less fortunate on our island. I see my radio show as a platform to make listeners laugh, think, and cook up new dinner ideas. I invite you to tune in because each day, I try to make you laugh, think, as well as share a few simple recipes to trigger ideas for dinner and to me that’s a RADIO SHOW.

Things I like to do when not at the radio station: Beyond radio, i’ve published three cookbooks and produced two CDs to support local musicians. Off-air, I enjoy time with my seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, especially at the beach or on the golf course. he sees his radio show as a platform to make listeners laugh, think, and cook up new dinner ideas.
