Born on Kauai December 18, 1961 I had no idea I was going to be in radio which is a normal thing considering i was an infant at the time. Even growing up there was no interest in radio until one day I heard a very creative announcer on air. He made the airwaves come alive. I would listen to his show faithfully every night during my high school years.

During my days at Kapaa High School I was reluctant to get up in front of people to talk, a fear I still carry with me, so there was no interest in becoming a radio announcer. In 1982 I stepped into a radio station for the first time to apply for a sales position. I was told there was an on air position open and if I was applying for it I should mark the appropriate space. I did that. It wasn't until 1998 when I would try to get a job on Oahu in radio. Fortunatly KSSK hired me as a part time jock and later I became KSSK's traffic reporter.

Traffic

Before you leave home you can check on some traffic yourself by visiting GoAkami. You can also check on Accidents and Stalls on this link, http://www4.honolulu.gov/hpdtraffic/, just remember that not all the incidents are actually there. These are all incidents called into HPD, so many of them are not confirmed to be there.

There will be another helpful tool on the internet soon and it's already available through your phone. Just dial 768-3777 and it will give you information on road work being done by the city. You will have to press a few buttons to get to the area you want information on, but that beats listening to all of them. For state road work head to http://hawaii.gove/dot/highways/roadwork

And of course your best traffic information tool is your car radio tuned to KSSK. It's live which means what you hear is going on right then.

Hope these help you get to where you're going!
