Bio: Mark Asher
Position: Afternoon Drive Talk Show Host
Years with the company: 2 plus years
More on what you do (at work): Co-Host of the Gambo and Ash show. The longest running sports show in AZ . John and I have been doing the show together from 1998 although it feels like 30 years! Working with Gambo can be like dog years sometimes. HAHA
Education: I graduated from Northern Arizona University (The Harvard of the Pines) in 1996.
Family: I have a beautiful son named Jackson Cole Asher born on August 4th 2007. He is the greatest!
Favorite restaurant: That's tough! I like so many great places. Donovan's is the best for Steaks, I love Meatballz Italian Deli for a great sandwich, Sakana Sushi is great and I could eat Sushi about 3 times a week, although I don't! Other notables are Postino's, Furio and Basis... For Mexican food it's either Los Dos or Salty Senorita.
First job: Arby's baby! I made the meanest Beef N Cheddar!
Favorite spot in Arizona: Sedona
What is in your iPod: My Playlists! Too many to name right here. U2 is my all time favorite. I do like all these apps that you can put on the new iPod Touch. It is crazy how much you can do.
Favorite team: Arizona Cardinals
Favorite athlete: Larry Fitzgerald now... Of all time it is Magic Johnson, Walter Payton and Don Mattingly
Favorite sports memory: I have two - First was being on the field seconds after the Diamondbacks won the World Series over the Yankees in 2001. I cried! Second was this past year when the Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game. I was there and again I cried. Gosh I am a crybaby when it comes to sports!
Best sports event worked/covered: Super Bowl 43
Bucket List: 1) Play Golf at the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland. 2) Would also like to play at Augusta, Pebble Beach and TPC Sawgrass 3) Party just once at the Playboy Mansion 4) If that doesn't happen how about the Wrigley Mansion although it doesn't have the same pizzazz! 5) Go to the Kentucky Derby 6) See a baseball game at Fenway and Wrigley 7) See a Knicks game at MSG 8) Hold hands with Jessica Biel (more if she's up to it but I am a gentleman!) 9) Fly on a private jet 10) Punch Gambo in the face... I put that last because he might kill me but at least I will have completed 1-9 and can die in peace.
