Monday – Friday 6:00 am - 10:00 am Rick was born in New York not with a silver spoon in his mouth, but with a microphone in his hand. Rick and his family moved to Florida in 1969 and as Rick grew up the passion for radio grew with him as well. Rick's first job in radio was at the # 1 station in Tallahassee. From there Rick went on to bigger and better things including stints in West Palm Beach, Ft. Myers, and then Memphis, Tennessee. Rick loves all types of music, especially 60's,70's and 80's, and has hung out with a lot of great artists from Jerry Corbetta of Sugarloaf to Don Brewer of Grand Funk to Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night. Rick loves it here in Wine Country and on off days, if he's not on a golf course, he's cooking on the grill. You name it, he cooks it!
