Della's Story

My life has always been an open book since I have been in the media industry ever since high school. After graduation I moved to Corpus Christi and continued to work in radio and eventually went to work at the number one pop music station and later the number one country station. I won the Feria De Las Flores Scholarship Pageant and was a finalist in the Miss Teen of Texas Pageant before going on to co-host the top rated morning radio show and hosting the bi-lingual community affairs program The Domingo Show on KIII-TV. I also wrote and produced the Channel 3 Country Countdown for the newscast along with numerous television commercials and endorsements. I spent over ten years at KOUL and had a blast doing the morning show with John, Sancho, Catfish & Bubba! While at KOUL I served as the station's go-to girl, doing everything from news reporting, sports reporting, promotions; marketing. Where ever the Big Country Radio was at, I was usually at too! I have had the opportunity to rub elbows not only with the greatest names in country music, but also mingled with community, state, national leaders (Ronald Reagan, John Glenn, Bush 41, Astronaut Robert Crippen, Medal of Honor Winner Roy Benavidez), sports icons (Tony Dorsett, Michael Irvin, Nolan Ryan, Bum Phillips), entertainers (Donny Osmond, Larry Hagman, Don Francisco, Charo, Selena, Paul Rodriguez, Sylvester Stallone…) and realized that we all have many things in common; it is just that some of us do some pretty cool things for a living! I have jumped out of airplanes, been a big winner and appeared twice on Wheel of Fortune, sung with Alabama and been a ring announcer for NBC Sportsworld, ABC Ringside and the Texas Sports Network while working with the likes of former Heavy Weight Champion Evander Holyfield. In the late eighties, I worked with Johnny Canales to produce and market his internationally televised Spanish language musical variety show. The early nineties, brought me motherhood and one failed marriage tha...Expand for more
t only lasted two weeks but I got a baby out of it!! My two boys are awesome! I got married in the mid-nineties and became a full-time mom/housewife and said farewell to broadcasting. I moved from my laid back Annaville nest to the busy Southside of Corpus Christi despite my vowing never to move there again. I still twirl and play the trumpet (not at the same time) and even though it is not like the backstage parties for George, Garth, Clint and Reba, I get a great deal of satisfaction from having thrown some pretty spectacular themed birthday parties for my kids. After, being a stay at home mom for five years, I decided to re-enter the workforce, but I didn't want to go back into broadcasting. I needed a job that was flexible enough to be able to stay at home when the kids were off from school and still be able to get to all the doctor's appointments and awards ceremonies on time. Hello temp agency! I temped for eight years already and I LOVED IT!! I became the agency's "go to girl." I had assignments of every length, from one day to three years! I have worked at financial corporations, engineering firms, for builders, title companies, and even an institution of higher learning! I loved being able to take the summer, Christmas and Spring break periods off to vacation with the children. In 2009 I divorced...and got back into my real profession: RADIO!! I was so glad to be back in my element!!! It's like I just stepped right back into where I was almost 14 years ago without skipping a beat! I did just about anything and everything at the station...again...but I loved it! Then the opportunity to work at the Army Depot came and I went. The kids are no longer kids. The baby is 22 and the oldest is 24. I met the perfect man for me on a blind date and the last six years have been the best of my life. I love living out in the country on a beautiful 5 acre spread with my pets. I'm a NASCAR fanatic and country music still reigns in my heart. I'm beyond blessed.
