with some of the best coaches in the country about the cutting edge of basketball, there’s so much of it I have been able to incorporate into my coaching. Plus, it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been in the locker room with LeBron, Steph Curry, I’ve talked to Steve Kerr, it’s just a whole different level. And, it’s allowed me to do some incredible things; I’ve been to the last four NBA Finals. Radio has opened a lot of doors, for sure, and it has allowed me to see first-hand how the game is evolving. Sometimes people ask me, “How do you get into broadcasting?” I say, “I have no clue.” I really don’t know. I didn’t hire an agent. I didn’t go to a sports broadcasting school. I’ve never had any voice training. I didn’t go to school for a traditional media background. I just sort of picked it up by being aware and studying myself. I never tried to pattern myself after anybody. I just do what works, and then continued to hone it and improve it over time. Let’s switch gears for a moment and talk about your family. Tell us about your wife, Jami. Did you two meet at Cal Poly? She did go to Cal Poly, but we didn’t meet when she was there. We actually met later. My college roommate was dating her sister, so she came to town for a week to visit. We dated for six or seven years before we got married in 2010. She continued on to get her credentialing and master’s for her counseling degree. She’s a school counselor at Lucia Mar in Arroyo Grande. Ironically, she’s not much of a sports fan. She loves going to big games, more because of the crowd and the atmosphere than the game itself. Traveling was a lot easier before we had kids, of course, but we’re lucky to have her family in the area who have been great about helping us. Having that kind of network has allowed us both to do the work we do. It’s going to continue to be a juggle for the next couple of years until the kids are a little older, but I did take my daughter, Harper, with me on a radio trip to Indiana this year. We left on a Thursday and came home on Monday. Some of my favorite videos and pictures right now are with Harper on her first plane flight with her backpack. She was just ready to go. You’ve been all about basketball from the beginning. Do you ever see that changing? Yeah, good question. I haven’t gotten burned out yet, and maybe I will, maybe I won’t. I’ve had opportunities to coach college basketball, and I’ve decided I’m not going to do that. I don’t want to move. I still really, really enjoy radio, and so from that component, going to these venues and being on college campuses where it’s just a great vibe, you >> 48 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | JUN/JUL 2019
