I have been a Portland boy my whole life attending Vernon Grade School, (whew, made it through the 8^th grade).  In the 7^th grade I made my radio debut on KBPS (located at Benson High School where I starred as “Bobby” in the radio play “Spark, of the Pony Express”.  That experience led me to apply to attend Benson Tech where I enrolled in their KBPS radio program.  That’s where I really caught the radio bug.   

            After I graduated from Benson Tech I did a short stint at Mt. Hood Community College.  Working as a full time store detective at Newberry’s, J.K. Gill and Woolworth’s at the Lloyd Center I landed a part time radio gig in Lebanon, Oregon, three months later in November of 1977 I was hired at the legendary 62KGW in Portland.  Once I got the key to THAT building, no one was going to take it away.  I spent the next 4 and a half years working part time climbing the ladder.  I fulfilled one dream of mine, while part time at 62KGW I worked afternoons at KSWB iN Seaside, Oregon and lived right on the beach.  I did that for a year until I discovered the smaller the radio town the smaller the paycheck. 

            Finally, after short radio stays in Salem and Dallas, Oregon I worked my way into full time Skyview Traffic at 62KGW.  Total time at Super 62 was eleven years.  I worked every shift from overnights to afternoons to mornings.  In 1989 the “Big 62” went “all-talk” and I went “bye-bye”.  Crossed town and worked at K-103 with my buddy Craig Walker doing traffic.  After one year at K-103 I ended up in the “Emerald City”, Seattle, Washington where I worked at K-Lite and KJR-FM as Scott Ingram. 

Five years and about two hundred trips up and down the I-5 freeway it was time to come home.  I’ll never forget stopping the U-Haul on the West Seattle Bridge and saying goodbye to a city that treated me very well and I had grown very fond of.   Sad as I was at that moment, when I rumbled down the freeway and caught a glimpse of the big ole’ Trojan Nuclear Tower, I was elated.  I knew Oregon and home was less than an hour away.  This time I was home for good.

            You may remember a morning show in Portland starring “Scotty and Marie” on Q-105 and then on “Mix 95.5”.  “S and M on the A.M.” Marie Dodds was my radio partner then and has been one of my best friends for over thirty years.  In 1998 I became a KISN Good Guy on 97.1 KISN FM.  Now I am happy to spend workdays with you from 10am to 3pm on Portland's only "Oldies" radio station, Oldies 106.7. 

            My wife Adele and daughter Veronica and I live in Portland with our dog Thunder and cats Shadow and Diamond.  We love Christmas lights, we love riding our bikes, going to Sunriver and we really, really love DISNEYLAND!
