FAQ.
Are you from Indiana?
No, in fact I've never been to Indiana. The name comes from Indiana Jones.
Why do you do radio?
I decided I wanted to work in radio back when I was 16 years old. I use to listen to a lot of radio when I was kid, and could not believe people got paid to have fun all day long. I wanted to have fun too.
Are you really from the East Side?
Yes, born and raised in the East Side of San Jose. I'm very proud of it. Don't believe all you hear about the East Side. I grew up on Story and White and if I could go back in time and do it all over again... I wouldn't change a thing!
What would you consider your career high lights?
Taking my Dad backstage to meet George Jones would be first.
2nd would be, To have a song written about a phrase I made up. "Off The Hillbilly Hook" is something I say on the Saturday Night House Party and now it's a song by Trailer Choir and is on the Sound Track to Toby Keith's movie "Beer For My Horses"
Did you always listen to country growing up?
Yes, I did. My Dad is a big country music fan and also had the radio on when I was a kid. My first concert I'd ever went to was George Jones, Merle Haggard and Conway Twitty at the Cow Palace when I was 16 years old.
Are you really a good dancer like Gary says you are?
I like to dance, but not as good as Gary says. I know a few line dances, but I really like to two-step. I would say I'm pretty good at that one.
Did you really do all those crazy thing Gary made you do on the Morning Show?
Yes, every one! I did them and had fun doing it. Most of the time they were my ideas. Gary didn't "make" me do them, I wanted to do them.
I went through a car wash 3 times
I rode a bull at the Grand National Rodeo (busted my arm doing
it)
Went for an eight second ride in a clothes dryer at a laundry mat
Danced in my underwear on random street corners
and
I've dressed up in a ton of different costumes
(those are the ones that stand out)
What charity do you work with?
AVON Walk for Breast Cancer. I've walked 3 years and will be walking again next year.
American Diabetes Association. I've done a Water Slide-A-thon and rode the slides and Ragging Waters over a 100 times to raise money to fight Diabetes. This year I will be walking in Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes.
