Matt Pelishek
Program Director for Life FM/co-host of the Afternoon Joy Ride
Matt graduated from Northwestern College and Radio in St. Paul, Minnesota with a degree in radio broadcasting in 2006, however he has been involved in radio since 2000. Matt has 3 daughters, but he also holds a 2nd degree black belt. These two things are not unrelated. God have mercy on the poor soul who first asks to date one of his precious girls. Matt also loves all things geeky, especially Star Wars, old kung fu films, and cartoons from the 80’s.

Favorite Bible verse: Galations 1:10 “So who am I trying to please, man or God? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Aaron Perlman
Music Director/Co-Host of the Afternoon Joy Ride
Aaron is not only one of the most well known media personalities in Bakersfield, he is also one of the busiest. Aaron is your friendly neighborhood anchor and weatherman each morning on FOX & CBS in Bakersfield. He also serves as worship leader at 1st Assembly of Bakersfield. While Aaron does a lot of hiking and running, if given the choice, he would likely spend his days watching cartoons and eating chocolate pudding on the couch. Aaron also loves Dr. Who, and old classic movies.
