Mr. Guilford’s experience comes from over 25 years as an Inland Empire veteran radio broadcaster, advertising copy writer, producer, and advertising account executive. Mr. Guilford holds a BA in Communications, 1980, from California State University, Fullerton. He was born and raised in Southern California, he has now resided nearly two decades with his wife and family in Perris, CA.

Also being a 30 year veteran of the grocery industry, Mr. Guilford began working in the Wine Country area in 1999 for Stater Bros. Markets, in Temecula. When they committed a major portion of their wine and beverage department to the local wineries, this location rapidly became one of the foremost retailers of local wines. LeRoy became somewhat of an emissary for the Temecula wine region through the development of HYPERLINK "http://www.ShopTemeculaWines.com" www.ShopTemeculaWines.com (a true labor of love), and was invited to attend the Annual Symposium for Professional Wine Writers, held at Meadowood Resort, Napa Valley, CA, which began in 2005. This lead to his meeting and befriending many top names in the wine and food industries, and ultimately to this radio show which began life in the Inland Empire on a local station in 2004, ultimately to find his new home here at AM830 KLAA.
