I was born and raised in the economic hub of Central America, San Miguel, El Salvador. Since and early age, I showed interest in music, media and politics. My first experience in Radio was in an old Radio Station called La Pantera. The station was very popular with the Migueleños youth because, in the sixties and seventies this was the place where San Miguel heard The Beatles, Los Iracundos, Palito Ortega and all that old rock’n’roll. We used to bring LP’s—do you remember those—and play them for the listeners who would call us and ask us to play some of their favorite stuff. I went to La Univesidad de El Salvador to study Languistics and Teaching. Although I am a really bad acto, I was part of the University’s traveling Theater. There I helped found the first Circuito Cerrado radio “Alternativa”. The name Alternativa was not only the name of the radio but also an internal political movement of which, of course, I was part. I came to the Hood River in 1996 when one of the most memorable snow storms happened. I am married to Karen Murphy, who is the de facto official voice for Radio Tierra’s jingo. I currently work for a preschool organization and I have a community and music show every Saturday, “Musica, entrevistas y comentarios, en Resumen Semanal” Keep on listening! |

We’ve been hacked!
The Radio Tierra site had some hack SPAM comments today that actually brought down the site, and all other sites on this server. I’ve deleted the comments– which were injecting some code to call other sites– and gotten things back up and running. Hopefully, the steps that I’ve taken to remove comment ability will hold things secure. I’ve removed the ability of people to add accounts, and turned off comments, but I may need everyone to update their passwords if it happens again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
