I was asked to make a speech to America's

surprised me and presented me with their
highest award, a Lifetime Achievement Award
for my "integrity, dedication and positive role
model". I was stunned and honored. Thank you
ADJA!

DJing at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, for Calvary
Christian School. It was a black tie fund raising benefit that I'm so pleased
to say set a record for the school. I was the auctioneer and DJ, and provided
all the sound and lights. The organizers wanted an exciting club atmosphere
for the dancing - the overall night had a James Bond theme - so we gave
them what the wanted with chase lights, LED projectors and colored washes
around the entire room. It was an amazing and spectacular evening. For

After twenty-five + years in radio and music (I guess
I started as a DJ when I was four!) I figured it was
time to share some of the memories with you.
Throughout the site you'll find photos and audio clips
from different eras - especially the 80s of course - and
also some pictures of my family and beloved pets.
Check back often as this site will be updated on a regular
basis with new photos, stories, audio clips, etc...

One question I get asked - "When you DJ a wedding or party, do you only play 80s music?"
The answer is simple - I play what you want. If you want Depeche Mode, you got it!!! But if
you want Elvis, Celine, Beyonce, Michael, Lady GaGa, Frank, Madonna, U2, Britney, Elton,
etc... then that's what I play. It's your party and I want to make it the best, most fun day
you've ever had!!! Here's an e-mail 'review' after a fun 40th birthday party for Moira Conrad!
Richard,
It was quite a pleasure to meet you the other night at Moira's birthday party. I
haven't seen my little sister that excited in who knows how long. You were such
an integral part of our lives on KROQ, and you brought everything back like it
never left. It's more than just the music.
Thanks again for turning a great evening into a perfect one. Your warmth,
kindness and genuine joy and enthusiasm were apparent and made everyone
feel so relaxed and welcome and just plain happy. The night just couldn't have
been any better.
Moira's brother Don.

On August 5th 2010 the B-52s played the
Pacific Ampitheater in Costa Mesa, CA and
asked me to be their opening act. That was
a thrill, playing for 10,000 people!
