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.

Preparing For "The Running Of The Gays" 2012
Last year, I took part in a fundraising event for Art from Ashes, a charity that helps provide artistic outlets for LGBTQ teens. All participants had to run a race of a few blocks...while wearing heels. It's not uncommon for other participants to wear goofy costumes and/or drag while taking part, but I thought I'd try something a bit different. I decided to do the race wearing a full Colorado Mammoth uniform (and heels). The Colorado Mammoth were amazingly helpful getting me the pieces of the uniform I didn't have - helmet, pad and stick. I ended up doing quite well in the race, and I raised more money than any other participant.
I've decided to do something similar for this year's fundraiser. But I wanted to step up the game a bit.
This year, I'm making the run in full Denver Broncos uniform.
This is going to be tough, since I literally don't have any parts of that uniform. So I've ordered a jersey, and bought a cheap set of used shoulder pads. Miles the Broncos mascot has procured me a helmet for me to wear. And yes, I found a crappy pair of heels to wear. So now I'm just looking for a good pair of football pants to wear. Once I have that, I'll be set to tear up the course.
To see how I looked in the above gear, and to donate to this excellent cause in my name, please click here. And if you'd like to come cheer/jeer me on, the race will be Sunday, September 30th at 11am, in front of Steuben's Restaurant at 523 East 17th Avenue in Denver.
