    Greetings, and welcome to our site. 

        If you have made it this deep into our site, you must be bored or perhaps have a morbid sense of curiosity to learn about the people who run it.  Well, I’m sorry to say but you have clicked on absolutely the least interesting person’s section.  If you were expecting some dashing, highly cerebral entrepreneur you are sure to be disappointed here.

        My family moved to League City in 1978 when I was 11 years old.  I attended Clear Creek schools until I dropped out in 1983.

        I worked as a telephone solicitor, selling subscriptions to The Houston Post Newspaper and USA Today.  I was one of those horrible people that everyone including me hates.  After about 2 years when I could no longer stand being around myself, I left the telephone soliciting industry.

        After a stretch of unemployment, I finally got a job rigging new boats for a company that was called Boats & More.  It was located directly across the street from Shipley’s Doughnuts here in League City.  I remained there for almost two years and it was the most wonderful job a young man could have.

        After that I got a job with Maudlin and Sons machine shop in Kemah on the night shift and a part time job as a morning custodian at BayBrook Mall.  (There is something strange that that happens to a woman when she strolling through a mall, bragging to her girlfriends about her new boyfriend and then stumbles across him mopping a floor at the same moment.)  These jobs sustained me for about a year.

        In 1989 Daniel Garcia who was the personnel director for the City Of League City, called and asked if I was interested in a part time position at the city as a custodian.  I had applied at the city weeks earlier for a position in the water department’s line repair division.  I accepted the job and found myself working for Denny Holt.  Denny was and I believe is still the head of the city’s Facility Maintenance department as well as the coordinator for the city’s Division of Emergency Management.  He made me a full time custodian after a few months and a few months after that a maintenance man.  Shortly after that my supervisor left the city and I took over his position.

        This was where I first became intrigued with how municipal government worked.  This was a time in the city’s history that I refer to as the “Good Old Boy Era”.  This was a time when Joe Lamb was mayor and we had councilmen like Ed Poole and Chester Davis.  In those days you never had concerns with council meetings running late because Chester Davis wouldn’t permit it.  For those readers who are familiar with this era in the city’s history, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

        After attending post council meeting, meetings at the local American Legion hall with most of the council members, department heads and directors, I was blessed with a more colorful vision of the city’s inter-workings than most common employees get to enjoy.  After 2 years my personality and Denny’s were no longer compatible.

        In 1991, I went to work for Bob’s Air & Heat on Houston Avenue in League City.  I was a terrible air conditioning technician but my good friend and boss Robby Surman had a prolonged lapse in reason and allowed me to maintain my employment for a year until I relieved him of the burden.

        I started into the computer industry which seemed to be the next logical step since it was the only true skill I possessed as well as it being an industry where my flawed personality seemed to fit right in.

        Enter Marc Edelman.  I had known Marc for a few years at this point.  He had the only decent computer service in League City at the time and was a poker buddy of mine.  I had asked him to hire me several times and every time I ran into the same “I don’t hire friends” answer.  I decided to start up my own computer service company and was lucky enough to land the City of Webster as a key client.  Then to my surprise I received a call from Marc one evening.  He had just landed a large contract and needed temporary personnel to help him fulfill his obligation.  I’m not sure how temporary the position is but that was 12 years ago and I’m still here everyday, usually as the first one here and last one to leave.

        Then things went a little crazy in the first quarter of 2005.  My good friend and boss, Marc Edelman had a prolonged lapse in reason and decided to run for city council.  (Does anyone notice a pattern here with my friends.)  Anyway, he choked!

        It was at this time that I started to kick around the idea of an AM or perhaps even an FM talk radio show to allow the voters to ask questions of the candidates.  This would be an asset to both candidate and voter alike.  As I investigated this concept, I discovered that it was going to be more costly than I originally anticipated as well as the time needed to obtain an FCC license and frequency.  It was at this point that I realized that the unregulated world of the Internet was perfect for me.  I have not dismissed the radio concept and it is still something I hope to do down the road sometime.

        My greatest hope for this site is to get a majority of our citizens to determine the city’s destiny instead of the scant ten percent that votes.  Please keep in mind that by not voting you are increasing the power of the few individuals who do.  The current situation allows for even the smallest groups of organized citizens to hold tremendous power over the future of the community.  Democracy was conceived to empower individuals, not groups.  Please vote.

        I would like to thank all of our wonderful guest who have given their time, knowledge and shared their opinions to make the show exciting.  I would also like to thank the members of our broadcast crew for their dedication and for putting up with me.  They're the best there is.

        Lastly I would like to say that if my Co-Host Marc Edelman edits this page again without my okie-dokie you will all be amazed at where his bio link will take you.

Talk to ya Wednesday night!
