In 1993, he joined 104.1 KRBE under then PD Tom Poleman and MD Paul “Cubby” Bryant and started the first in-house mixshow called The Beat.

Later that year, DJ Rich would pick up mixshows in Austin-KHFI and San Antonio-KTFM.

In 2000, due to the Clearchannel merger, DJ Rich was moved to sister station and New York Dance leader 103.5 WKTU. Then PD, Frankie Blu and MD Jeff Z changed DJ Rich’s name to The Riddler and DJ Riddler was born.
