Rusty's "matter-of-fact" common sense delivery is highly entertaining and informative. Rusty's high energy and passion transcends the radio and feels as though he is in the same room with you.
Rusty combines his unique comic genius with his musical talent to sing and produce some of the best song parodies in the business today.
Furthermore, Rusty is not afraid to say what he thinks or how he feels. At an early age, he lost his father in the Vietnam War and has been a passionate supporter of Vietnam issues ever since. Rusty's broadcasts over the last 25 years have taken him to Iraq, Kuwait, England, Cuba, mexico, Italy, Israel (including Gaza and The West Bank). Rusty is an expert on military issues and has featured many of America's soldiers and distinguished officials live from Iraq and Afghanistan. He served as a military observer at the U.S. Naval Station Guantanomo Bay Detention Center and has contacts directly to the Pentagon and Centcom.
While Rusty is extremely generous in all his charitable pursuits, he approaches charity as a 'help' for those who truly need it or those that try to help themselves. He is critical of wasteful government programs and the people that cheat those systems.
At only 44 years old, Rusty has had a very successful and colorful career. He's been a contestant on The Wheel of Fortune, a tour guide at Universal Studios in Hollywood, and even a candidate for U.S. Senate.

He took a local cancer group, comprised of 16 children and their families, to Disneyland.

The recording company is partially owned by George Carlin and features the largest selection of recorded humorists available such as Ray Ramano, Woody Allen, and Robin Williams to name just a few. His CD "Greeting From America - Wish You Were Here" was a "best of" collection made specifically for the troops in harm's way; it featured songs and well wishes from radio listeners from across the country.
Rusty is currently working on several things: growing his syndicated radio show; writing a book; planning a concert tour; and developing a TV show. He considers his passion for children's and veterans’ issues to be the most important parts of his career.
