Sweet Lou was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey. When he was eight, his parents, along with his brand new baby sister, packed up the ’59 Cadillac and drove three-thousand miles to relocate in Sacramento. “That car looked like the Batmobile” says Gallagher. “I remember one night on a Jersey turnpike, my Dad decided he wanted to see what it could do. He mashed that pedal and that beast quickly climbed to 100mph and as we hit 120, the car seemed to lower itself as it hit its stride. From that moment on, I was hooked on cars!”

In high school, Gallagher had a ’64 Falcon station wagon, a ’54 Ford pick-up, and a ’68 Firebird. “I’d gladly trade my Dodge Grand Caravan for a ’56 Ford F-100” he says. “My wife might have an issue with that transaction!”

His radio career spans twenty-five years in Sacramento. “My first gig was at FM102 with Chris Collins and Mike Reynolds and The Morning Zoo.” There, Gallagher was a part of the most highly rated morning show of all time in Sacramento. “I cut my teeth there. We were a team of 5-6 very talented people competing for air time and creating great radio every day. I was very thankful for my time there.”
“I have a passion for Motorsports and racing” he says. “Next to my family, it’s what I love the most!” Gallagher has been married to Teresa for twenty-one years. Together they have two children. Nick is seventeen and Katie is fifteen. They have lived in Antelope for eighteen years.

“I’m so happy to be working at 92.1 K-HITS! I just love the people that listen to this great music. Over the years, many of you have become my close friends! I hope the K-HITS Garage quickly becomes one of your favorite shows. I’ll work very hard to make sure you have a good time when you tune in Saturday mornings at 9!”
