Hometown? Born in Fort Lauderdale, Fl but lived in Chicago for 20 years

First radio station? KASR at ASU (1983)

Stops along the way: I began working with KYOT on it's first full day on March 15, 1994. Back then we were "Smooth Rhythms" featuring a lot of contemporary jazz with a world beat twist. I started out in promotions, then to programming assistant and On Air Personality as Coyote Dave. I am also now the Public Service Director.

Hobbies/interests: I love to play soft ball, golf, bicycling, swimming, working out and traveling through out Arizona. Our state is amazing!

Favorite food(S): Steak with potatoes and veggies, Pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, Pork chops but no apple sauce. I also love to make baked salmon with angel hair pasta/shrimp side with steamed veggies.....bon apetit'.

Favorite TV show: Mostly classic comedy such as All in the Family, Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke and the Honeymooners. I love the Three Stooges! I have a poster of them in my studio.

Favorite Jazz artists: Pat Metheny, Oscar Peterson, Jobim, Diana Krall, Tony Bennett, Craig Chaquico, Rippingtons, Turning Point, George Benson and Grover.

Animal: A fat cat named Tuna (he's pretty groovy).

Favorite places in the world: I have traveled to 30 plus states. I have also been to Rocky Point, but sadly no world tour as of yet.

Favorite CD's: Anything Beatles, Greatful Dead, Rock of Ages (The Band), Steely Dan, mainstream/acoustic jazz, and some 70's country rock.

Anything Else? Doing radio is a life long dream, and I love the Coyote. Our listeners are the greatest! I enjoy hanging out with you all. Also, I love my family very much, though I don't see them enough because they are back in Chicago.
