Tommy is a very active dad who has been on Southern California airwaves for over 15
years and another 15+ all over the SouthWest from Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City
and Los Angeles. Many California radio listeners knew Tommy from his years of being
part of an Inland Empire morning show. Now he calls La Quinta and The Big 106 his
home. It’s no surprise that Tommy’s kids have also been part of his radio show. Many
people in Southern California have listened to Tommy’s family adventures via his
popular “Daddy Diaries” episodes for years. Tommy & wife Raye have been together
30 years and keep busy with their four kids, ages 30 to 14. Their house is a collection
of video games, band instruments, DJ equipment and outdoors camping gear. Tommy
and two of his boys are black belts in shotokan karate, so mom/wife Raye has her own
security team of ninjas.

Tommy has wanted to be “the man inside the radio” since he was a toddler and when
he clicks the microphone on at The Big 106, he may be the biggest kid of the entire
family.

Thanks to Blue Light Specials (and a couple of club DJ friends) TLC got into radio while working in the KMart Ladies Department! After going to the Columbia School of Broadcasting, she found her way to the Coachella Valley where she has been ever since. She still likes to visit her hometown of San Clemente when she can with her husband and 3 boys, where a lot of her family still lives.

BIG 106.1 is the perfect fit for her, as she was raised on Top 40 and Country music. She loves all kinds of music and embraces today's country! In addition to music, TLC loves to dance (she took 5 dance classes in college) and even acting (she was once on General Hospital and Star 80).

As a Christian, TLC looks forward to producing the Sunday Morning Show - The Spirit of Country!
