 Assistant Program Director, Evening Host and Grammar Police
Monday through Friday 8pm - midnight
Home town: Washington, DC, a great city that everyone loves to hate.
Other places lived: (non-scholastically) Baltimore, New York, Brooklyn
Education: Oberlin College, Ohio; Institute for Audio Research, New York; University of San Francisco
Family: After over 20 years of marriage to my best friend Anne, we have a joyful new project: our daughter Stella, born October 2002. We also share our space with two cocker spaniels and a somewhat loopy cat.
Hobby: I love to cook. I love to eat, too, and cooking is a great way to relax at the end of the day while at the same time satisfying a very primal need.
Other interests: Music (Duh!), reading, watching sports, puttering around our house and yard.
Most unusual prior job: Teaching fencing and stage combat.
Two books I never get tired of: Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and Sherman Alexie’s “Reservation Blues.”
Two movies I never get tired of: “Casablanca” and “Fantasia.”
Favorite sport: Baseball is the only sport truly given to us by the gods. And in 2004, we found out that the gods have a wicked sense of humor. Go BoSox!
Pet Peeve: Misused apostrophe’s.
If marooned on a desert island with only 12 CDs to listen to (and unlimited batteries), one would be: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It’s one of the few musical masterpieces of the late 20th century that crosses ALL musical boundaries. And you can sing along. I’d also have to take Andreas Haefliger & the Takacs Quartet playing “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” and the “Trout Quintet.” Great music, enthusiastically and beautifully played. And you can sing along.
My best vacation ever: My wife “kidnapped” me and took me to Disneyland for my – umm -- a rather significant birthday.
Best thing about living in the Bay Area: After 16 years of “high anxiety” in New York City, I love the way the Bay Area gives you space for quality of life concerns, without losing any of its energy and vitality.
Quote: My favorite thing about this job is getting phone calls or Email from listeners (especially young people) who tell me, “I never thought I’d enjoy classical music, but now I listen to your station all the time.” That’s what it’s all about.
