Dave DeMarco hosts a popular local radio show on AM-730; he is also called “Mad Dog.”  I’m personally a big fan of his show and actually call in once or twice a year. 

 

He earned two varsity letters as a baseball player at Lansing Catholic and participated in the first Diamond Classic tournament. 

He has been a huge part of the Lansing Area sports community for a long time.  In addition to his radio program, he has helped host the Midnight Madness opening of the Michigan State basketball season as well as many other events. 

He has also done an in-depth interview with Muhammad Ali.  He is really generous with his time and helps with many fund raising events including a Lansing Catholic Baseball fundraiser that brought in over $45,000.  He also helped to raise more than $50,000 to help the St. Vincent’s Home for Children. 

 

Mr. DeMarco was brief with his acceptance speech.  He introduced his long-time produces Brock Palmbos.  He said that one of his most memorable experiences was the Muhammad Ali interview.

 

He thanked his family and friends for their support.
