Alex Santa Maria

 

Alex is a native of the valley born right here at Good Sam. After attending career days at Maryvale High School he knew he wanted to be a radio DJ and landed his first gig at KRUX in 1978 doing a half hour Show covering local high school sports. Alex is coming up on 31 years in broadcasting and over that period he has worked at almost all the valley's stations like KOPA, KXAM, KUPD, KUKQ, KZZP, Power 92, Y95 and Party Radio. Alex also spent 3 years working in Los Angels and has worked in every aspect of the business from Program Director to Marketing and Music Director.

After opening a Karate School in the 90’s Alex thought he was ready to hang up his headphones but then MEGA 104.3 came on the air and once again Alex’s passion for Old School got the best of him and he came on board just months after MEGA signed on 10 years ago. Alex is currently doing his 2nd round as the morning DJ and is our resident old school expert. In 2003 while doing afternoons on MEGA Alex won the New Times Best of Phoenix Title “Best Radio Personality”
 
When not on the air Alex spends as much time as he can with his wife and 5 children who all still participate in the daily activities at the Karate School (WayoftheDragonKarate.com). For Alex his love of music and Martial Arts go hand in hand, that’s how he landed his first radio gig, from a Karate demonstration. But that’s a story for another time...
