After leaving Q94 in Bakersfield, I initially wound up on the air in Los Angeles doing traffic reports for major stations such as KNX, KMPC and KLAC. I also did the same for a station in suburban Orange County, KWIZ-FM. 'Quiz' in Santa Ana, CA had been one of the earliest stations in the area but for most of its existence was overshadowed by Top 40, KEZY in Anaheim.

Program Director, Chris Cox hired me for utility air work based on his familiarity with my doing traffic reports for the station every day. I'm sure neither one of us had any inclination at the time that I would be the last person he hired and that I would be the last person on the air before ownership dropped its Adult Contemporary format to go Korean!

Not being fluent in that language, I signed off the station with Don McLean's, 'American Pie' with a tear in my eye (if not my beer). My time at KWIZ turned out to be very beneficial however as Chris Cox would go on to become the Program Director of none other than KEZY where he also hired me!
