When, How, and Why he joined The Israel Hour: Former "Israel Hour" host Andy German was getting ready to graduate in 1994, and he asked me if I was interested in working on the show. He brought me to the station so I could watch him in action, and it looked like a lot of fun. Since I have always dreamed of hosting a radio show, it wasn't long before I found myself behind the microphone.

Favorite artist: Since I'm exposed to new Israeli artists constantly, my favorites seem to change from day to day. Right now, however, I really enjoy listening to Achinoam Nini, Rita, and David Broza.

Favorite segment of The Israel Hour: I kind of look forward to those rare occasions when Mairov isn't talking . . .

Favorite part of hosting The Israel Hour: I love having the opportunities to meet and talk to Israeli personalities involved in all aspects of Israeli life (politicians, musicians, etc.)

Hobbies: Web design, radio production

Favorite Quote: "Yesterday I had the urge to work...I laid down until I felt better."
