Weekdays (5AM – 9AM) Saturdays (2PM – 7PM)
I love livin’ in the South Bay! I was born and raised in San
Jose (Leland High/San Jose State), as were my son and daughter.
My first concert @12 years old: AC/DC opening for Aerosmith (still my
favs)!
I played lead guitar and keys in local bands like Hot Ice, Starrider, Alibi,
and 3 Dicks & A Jane at South Bay clubs like Mountain Charley’s, Britannia
Arms, and Keystone Palo Alto. I even played solo piano at a few thousand Happy
Hours in the Hedley Club at Hotel De Anza in San Jose.
I love working at KFOX because it’s a thrill for me to play guitar on the air
every morning, the staff and listeners love to rock, and we all still love
livin’ in the South Bay for the sun, fun, short ride to the beach, and late
night runs to Taco Bravo on Bascom 🙂

Our Sharks are in the playoffs again and Round 1 starts this week on KFOX! I love when Sharks fans show up at a game and find a free shirt on their seats, like in my photo (those are shirts on the seats, not seats with a Sharks logo). But …

Last month when I took this selfie with my son, Tyler, and my daughter, Sarah, at Lower Yosemite Falls in Yosemite, I had no idea I should be happy for the weather we had: a little cold and a little rainy. It’s way worse this weekend, and yet it’s Spring! …

When you see a movie on an empty stomach, you’re bound to cave in to eating what they sell at the theater. It’s better to eat a meal before the movie at the restaurant next to the theater. But not every theater has a restaurant next to it, right? This …

When I ask my fellow San Jose Sharks fans where I can find the least expensive parking for a Sharks game, “Stephen’s Meat Parking Lot” comes up a lot. I found one for about the same price (although the rate in the photo is on a day with no Sharks …
