LD Uehara

• LD enjoys covering all things home and garden, from cross ventilating your home to troubleshooting an electric baseboard heater and how to successfully grow tomato plants.
• He's obsessed with interior design, especially using color and light to beautify your home.
• He once fixed his air conditioner by replacing the capacitor, so he's basically waiting for HGTV to offer him his own TV show.

Experience

LD also served as music director of Chico State's campus radio station, KCSC, which Spin Magazine recognized as one of the Top 5 College Radio Stations in America during his tenure.
