Doug on Doug:
I was born in California, in Newport Beach. I grew up in the SF Bay area, in Northern California. One big year in my life was my senior year of High School. I spent that year in Minden, Germany as an exchange student. (Class of '85).
I’ve been in radio since 1988, with many stations including KSOL (where I was Doug EE Fresh the traffic rapper) 6 years as "Jungle Doug" on KRTY/Country in San Jose, and 3 years on the syndicated "Doug & Connie / Doug & Karla" morning show. I also worked with our Christian music channels on XM Satellite Radio.
One fun part of the show is when I get to bark up Kim’s tree about the superiority of the canine over the feline when it comes to the best pet. Dogs really are better than cats. As one caller put it – “Dogs have family, cats have staff.” We have a wonderful beagle-mix named Shelby.
We love to read all the emails we receive, but there are times when people forward emails that are a hoax. Here’s some helpful web sites to visit so that you don’t pass on emails that are not truthful : http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org http://urbanlegends.about.com And there is no petition to remove Christian Radio - http://www.fcc.gov/mb/enf/forms/rm-2493.html
Speaking of web sites - one of my favorite web sites is www.GetKimHitched.com - the staff there is wonderful and really committed to their goals. Please check it out.
My favorite holiday movie is “Young Frankenstein”. (Honestly!) That’s what my mom and I use to watch each Christmas. “What hump?”
I actually met my wife Sheryl through KRTY (although she'll tell you that she was not a "groupie"). She just wanted to see the “face behind the voice” .. and after she got the scary part over – we got married. (There is really a lot more to it but we’ll share that for the next marriage retreat.) Sheryl is truly the back bone of the family – because she does so much behind the scenes - I can try to go to bed each night at 8. (That 3am wake up call comes much too early) My oldest daughter - Lauren is now a Freshman in College & Garic ("Babyman" - the only non-Californian) was born in Franklin TN in 1998. Garic is in 2nd grade.
My favorite verse is Phil. 4:6-7 which in the “Message” reads “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
