Alf was born in the 1970s. Early on. Really early on.

His first 7" single was "Theme from Rocky (Gonna Fly Now)" by Bill Conti. His first LP was K-Tel's Starflight. It was purchased because it had "Pop Muzik" by M at the end of side one. His first CD was Daft by the Art of Noise.

He went to college to become a high school math teacher, but a weekly show at the college radio station (even then, it was a retro show) made him realize that perhaps radio would be a better career option.

It took him over two years, four road trips and sixty contacted radio stations before he was finally offered a job. Overnights. In New Mexico. For $600 a month. He took it.

When the radio station shut down 18 months later, he again started searching, and was offered three gigs on the same day. He chose KTCL-FM (Channel 93.3) because he "liked the vibe". His first shift was the first weekend of May 1996. He has been on the air here ever since.

He took over the retro show in July 1996.

He took over Adventure University in 2000.

He took over Locals Only in 2002.

He's pretty much done taking over shows.

When he's not doing something music related, he enjoys trying out new restaurants (and revisiting old favorites) with Rick, reading, writing, dancing at Colorado Mammoth games, and referring to himself in the third person.

It's that time of year again! We're gearing up for Hometown for the Holidays 2011, and we're hoping to make it even bigger and better than last year! We're asking local bands to submit one song that they feel would work well on our station. The on-air staff, along with a group of other people involved with the local music scene, will vote on each submission, with the top ten getting into rotation on Channel 93.3 in December. Those top ten songs will then be sent to the people signed up for the Channel 93.3 music surveys, for them to vote on. The top three bands will win a bunch of cool stuff, and be invited to perform at our Hometown for the Holidays show at Casselman's near the end of December!
