Uncle Dave

Uncle Dave has lived in the Northwest for his entire life. He got his start in radio in college and is still doing it. He has lived and worked in Eastern Washington for over 30 years and thinks of Wenatchee as his home. He discovered Led Zeppelin when he was going through his sister’s old records, and he hasn't felt the same about music since. Uncle Dave uses his vacation time traveling the state of Washington to Record at music festivals. He has been an avid music listener since junior high. He likes to read urban fantasy and science fiction and for some unknown reason is addicted to watching Holey Moley and The Motor Trend channel.
