First and foremost, I want you to know that I am a sex machine! Beyond that, though, my entertainment career began in 1992 with my Sega Genesis National commercial. That was when I realized that I had “IT!” Nothing tells you that better than some of the biggest casting directors in Hollywood. In between then and the beginning of my radio career, stage plays -- from musicals to dramas -- were my thing. "Fiddler on the Roof" and "Our Town" are a couple of productions under my belt. Then we start with radio. My first “BIG” break came when "The Steve Harvey Morning Show" chose me to be producer. The momentum from there opened doors to Las Vegas, where my bucket list was completed and checked off. Las Vegas really elevated my thinking in regard to entertainment. KVEG and KLUC were the two brands that allowed me to really find and mold who Baby Joel is today. A stint in Monterey, Calif., also enabled me to see radio from the business side by giving me the production department to manage. Now Yakima is my home. Fortunately, KFFM allowed me to be The Franchise Player, which led to me being the face of Mega 99.3. Concurrently, I also manage the imaging department. "The Filipino Scorsese" is here to make it do what it’s supposed to do. Dig that!
