Don Geronimo

Michael Sorce (born September 18, 1958), better known as Don Geronimo, is a radio personality featured on the nationally syndicated Don and Mike Show , based at WJFK-FM (106.7 FM) in Washington, DC.

Don began his career in radio at the age of 13. His first major break was with WLS in Chicago in the early 80s. He then moved to WBBM-FM (B96) to do the evening show. Eventually, he replaced Dick Biondi doing morning drive at the same station and was given the name "Don Geronimo."

He met Mike O'Meara, his co-host Don and Mike Show, in the mid 80s. The pair have been broadcasting together since that time, first at WAVA-FM (105.1 FM) in Washington (1985-1991), then at WJFK from 1991 to the present.

Don has one daughter, Amy, the product of a six-month marriage when he was 18 years old. Long estranged due to emotional issues involving his ex-wife, Geronimo has recently reconnected with Amy and her three children. His son Bart (with Freda Wright-Sorce), currently attends Clemson University in South Carolina. His wife, Freda, died on July 10, 2005 in an automobile accident on Maryland Route 90 near Ocean City, where the Sorces had their vacation home.

Don has at times had his likeness compared to that of Richard Dreyfuss, which he has strongly denied until recently when an older couple approached him for an autograph, claiming that they had just seen him in Poseidon, and "loved his work".

In May 2007, a Leesville, Virginia man, who had once been a frequent caller to the Don and Mike show, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of stalking. Sorce received a letter from the man which contained threats to himself and his family. The judge also issued a lifetime restraining order in the case.
