MACKIE "MAC" (MON-FRI MORNING ZOO CREW 6AM-10AM)
I was born in Hilo, HI and later moved to Southern California. There I graduated from El Cajon Valley High School and attended 3 years at Grossmont collage. During this time I accepted a job as a professional high diver in upstate New York, which is weird because I am afraid of heights. After a season on the East Coast I moved back to the ”Islands“ to perform in the cliff diving show at Waimea Falls Park. I did this on the North Shore of Oahu for about 3years. The whole time I was a diver I couldn’t believe I was getting paid to jump off of things.
Needing a change of pace in my life I returned to the mainland where a friend offered to teach me how to Dj. I started by doing weddings and private parties. Later I entered the club scene and preformed all over San Diego. After a few years of partying another opportunity arose which took me to Sicily, Italy as the Area Talent Coordinator for NightLife Entertainment. I was lucky to spend 3 years working in Sicily, taking in the culture and spinning at amazing clubs. It was one of the best times of my life.
Feeling a bit home sick for the good‘ol U.S. of A. I went back to Southern Cali and hit the clubs once again. A few years later I moved to Maui to be closer to my family. This is where I fell in love with my wife, Janet while working at Crazy Shirts. I got back into the club scene here and started spinning at Moose McGillicuddy’s. After my first daughter, Mikayla, was born I started building my company, A- List Entertainment. My adventure in radio began after AZD offered me a show on Sunday evenings and I’ve been having fun ever since. Now you can check me out mid-days on Saturday’s and Sunday’s from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Taking requests, doing giveaways, quizzing you with the ”movie trivia clips“ and of course I play all of Hawaii’s hot hits not just some of it. Thanks to all the listeners…… See Ya!
