Celebrating a Life of Service, Music, and Inspiration.

My Father was devoted to education, service, and community through radio y la musica Tejana. For over 40 years, he immersed himself in La Música Tejana, not as a job, but as a hobby. He was a beloved radio personality, someone whose voice was known across the border region, not only for the music he played but for the warmth, joy, and connection he brought to every broadcast and the community. My father taught us that both education and service were powerful tools for uplifting others, whether in the classroom or over the airwaves.

In the 1990s, our family turned my father’s beloved radio station in Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico, just across from our hometown of Del Rio, Texas, into a family business that became a cultural heartbeat for our community.

My father, known as Mr. Tejano Shuffle, was its soul, sharing music, stories, and the vibrant spirit of Tejano culture. My brother, Rodney, built lasting connections with artists, businesses, and listeners, while I curated the music and programming that kept the station alive with rhythm and heart.

Why It Matters

Because Behind Every Heartbeat is A Story Worth Saving.

Our family brought people together through music, interviews, and community events. It was more than a station. It was a place where connection, culture, and compassion came alive.
