Leo's Tip of the Week

Hero of the month

Heather Hamann
from San Francisco, CA

Heather Hamann is the newest addition to the Tech Guy radio show. She'll be the first voice you'll hear when calling Leo every weekend. Since the call screening is now being done at the Tech Guy Labs in Petaluma, California, Heather will be an active part of the show.

Prior to coming to the Tech Guy Labs, she had been the producer of the Dr. Dean Edell Radio Show since 1999. Her role there included call screening along with music direction and managing affiliate relations. Before working with Dr. Dean Edell, Heather worked with an artist management company promoting and managing some popular Bay Area bands as well as assisting in the release of several albums.

Arriving in San Francisco from the Chicago area in 1989, Heather started a five-year stint as a traffic reporter. Her good humor in the sky helped Bay Area commuters get home safely, and earned her the title "The Sexiest, Wittiest Traffic Gal, Uh, Woman," from the San Jose Mercury News. Heather was news director at KYLD where her segment "Heather Does Hollywood" was a hit.

Heather was raised in the Midwest and graduated from the University of Iowa, where she majored in both journalism and political science. In her spare time she enjoys bicycling, rollerblading, reading, writing, going to the beach and above all, live music.
