Age: 38   Profession: El Peladillo on La Caliente Radio 96.9-FM  Personal:  “I have never liked to call myself a DJ — I am just somebody that interprets the feelings of the people.”

Inspirational reading: “I love to read Joel Osten. His books are very inspiring. I like to read a lot of books by Billy Graham. I admire people who can get on stage and keep people listening about God and His power.”

Hobbies: “Martial arts is my favorite hobby, I went all the way to the blue belt level. Now I practice on my own, and sometimes my brother will take time out to teach me new things. Martial arts is my passion.”

Favorite escapes: “I enjoy picnics, I love the mountains. I like being in a quiet place with just nature and my family.”

Humbling experience: “At the radio station, everyday we can, we go to the fields to visit the crowds of people. We visit them while they work, we like to make them feel like they are a part of our radio station. We bring them T-shirts and hats. We try to make them feel very special. Every two weeks we take food, like taquitos, water and Gatorade ... What has marked my heart is that they treat us like family; they give us grapes and invite us into their homes.”

Always ready for some football:  “I like football. Whenever I am with friends, football is all we talk about.”

Family: Two brothers and three sisters and they all live in Santa Paula, CA.
