"I was involved in Radio and TV for 36 years of my working life,
so now I am giving back to an industry I love
by volunteering in Community Radio."
As a child, I was around for the birth of rock ‘n’ roll and embraced it, initially as a listener and then playing the music as a radio disc-jockey. While my musical taste is eclectic, embracing jazz, big bands, show music too, my roots are still with the likes of Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Bill Haley, JOK, Col Joye, Ricky Nelson, Cliff Richard, Brenda Lee, Neal Sedaka, Roy Orbison, Gene Pitney, the Beatles and so many more.
I am loving the opportunity I get at Coast FM to pay homage to the pioneering greats of early rock ‘n’ roll. My early radio days were at 2WL Wollongong in the 1960’s, then in management at 2UE and 2GB while dabbling in sports commentary. I was the baseball and softball commentator for the Seven Network at 3 Olympics – Atlanta, Sydney and Athens.
Lived in Sydney most of my life but now retired and my wife and I recently relocated to Point Clare on the beautiful Central Coast to be closer to our kids and grandchildren.
