Porkchop

Welcome.

Sit back, grab a cold one from the fridge and enjoy yourself as you read the following bio on a northwest legend..... Oh, wait a minute!!! I'm not Marconi, sorry for the confusion kids..... I'm Porkchop, otherwise known as "the other white meat". It's what's for dinner.... no that's beef.... O.K. enough rambling, this is the section of the KUFO website where I get to rant about myself and give you the lowdown about my upbringing and how I got into radio.

It all started a rainy morning on March 21, 1971 when out came a squeeling porkchop at a hospital in Gresham, Oregon that no longer exists.... The years of childhood were filled with joy, can't remember much but that's what I've been told.... I think I lost a lot of long term memory recall resulting from the attendance of two Grateful Dead shows! High school was filled with a lot of teen angst and rebellion as well as the requisite late night drunken parties and unprotected sex. Moving on to post high school is where I really hit my stride as your prototypical underachiever. I tried college a couple of times but found that my true calling lies in the art of couch surfing and NHL Hockey on the Sega Genesis video game platform. Finally one smoke filled afternoon I walked across the street to kill some time at the local college, and before my eyes the future shown through the clouds in the form of a college radio dj booth.

The year is 1995 and I'm gonna try college for a third time!!!! I enter the radio broadcasting program at Mt. Hood Community College. From there I dream of free concert tickets and sexual favors from radio groupies.... Come to find out the free concert tickets are real, the free sexual favors from radio groupies..... NOT REAL! By 1998 history is made as I hit the KUFO airwaves! 2003 I'm fired! And 2008 brings me back full circle to the station that's near and dear to my heart.... KUFO!

Oh yeah, I'm also an aries, I like long walks on the beach, my eyes are blue and I love head cheese!
