Bio:

I am 100% Sicilian. Three of my four grandparents were born in Sicily, but I was born and raised in a quaint little suburb of Los Angeles called Eagle Rock. I still miss California, the greenery, the ocean, and of course my huge Italian family! I moved to Bullhead City in November of 1996, and started working at Lucky 98 on April 4th, 1997. One job that I had in California was office manager of an air conditioning company in Hollywood. Our customers included many movie stars, famous Beverly Hills restaurants, hotels and musicians. One day I was at work and heard a band playing in the building across the street. I found out a couple weeks later that it was Guns ‘n Roses. Free concerts while I worked!

Dislikes:

Conceited people, liars and thieves.

Favorite musician:

If you know me, you don’t even have to ask! Steven Tyler!

All-time favorite places:

The ocean. I love to sleep in a house on the ocean front with the sound of the waves crashing. My dream is to live on the California coast.

In my wallet:

Like the old saying goes, “Everything but the kitchen sink!” It’s quite embarrassing, actually! When I go shopping and bring my wallet out, it’s overflowing with money, notes, credit cards, post it notes, etc.! Stuff actually falls out all over while I pay for things! The bigger the wallet the better, and the more room I have to put more junk! It’s like a purse inside a purse!

Tattoos:

Yes, I have one small shooting star above my belly button. I would like to get a small music note. I get my love of music from my beloved Daddy and my mother, so it would represent all of us.

Hamburger or hot dogs:

Veggie Burgers! I’d rather kiss something that had a face than eat it!

Most people don’t know that I:

Was a model.

Pet peeves:

I hate waiting in lines or waiting for anything!!!

Other languages:

I speak a little Italian.

Favorite cartoon character:

I’ve always loved Betty Boop! I’m a girly girl and so is she!

Originating From:

Born and raised mostly in Arizona, I also spent 10 years living on an island in the Caribbean. At heart I’m a desert rat, which is why I’m back in Arizona. I grew up listening to the Lucky 98 format. My father was also in radio, and had the most amazing music collection. So of course, at a young and impressionable age, I started looking through his records (yeah, back when they were actually records!) only to discover that this stuff is really good. Been hooked on music ever since. I’ve been a drummer for as long as I can remember, and I am currently in a band, Tyrant 21.

Favorite color:

Quite fond of clear.

Favorite musician:

Hands down Frank Zappa. Some of his stuff is a bit too crazy for me, but most of his work is just musically amazing to me because of its intricacies.

In my CD player:

DJ Hive (Working With Sound), my band’s demo (The Chronicles of Battle), and Aceyalone (Book of Human Language).

Jobs other than radio:

On the island I was a chef at a clothing optional guest house! I’ve worked retail in just about every capacity. I was a pizza delivery guy. I’ve been an auto mechanic. I’ve been an electrician. I was and still am a studio musician. I’ve done a lot!

Pet Peeves:

When the word nuclear is pronounced “nucular”! There is no “U” at the end of nuclear, so why must people put one in!? One more that absolutely gets me, the phrase “tuna fish”. Of course it’s fish! You don’t order salmon fish, or a hamburger cow, so why must society order tuna fish? You can tune a piano, you can’t tuna fish!

My Last Concert:

Arch Enemy and Machine Head. That is one thing I like to do. Las Vegas has killer shows, and I’ll go whenever I get the chance.

Favorite book:

The Book of Five Rings, by Miyamoto Musashi.

Most cherished possession:

My Sabian 20” B8 Ride cymbal. The reason: It saved my life. Long story short, I was shot at, and the cymbal deflected the bullet into the ceiling! True story!

Math or Algebra:

I love math. I hate algebra! I like practical math. It is so entwined with our daily lives that we don’t even realize it.

Last Thing I Cooked:

My (not yet, but should be) world famous spaghetti!

Hard work or good luck:

I believe in both. All the luck in the world won’t help if you’re not good at what you’re trying trying to do. However, many deserving people do not achieve success, so the luck factor does come in to play. It’s all about being in the right place at the right time, with the skills to back it up.Hard work or good luck: I believe in both.
