Rich Terfry, host of CBC Music Drive is from Mt. Uniacke, Nova Scotia. He has worked as a gas station attendant, a night watchman, a towel-boy at a luxury resort and holds a bachelor's degree with a major in biology. He has lived in Halifax, Montreal, New York, London and Paris and now sleeps on a cot in the CBC Music studio. His interest include - but are not limited to - cinema, pets, invention, baseball and stories of dumb criminals.

Rich has always loved radio. His childhood hero was Wolfman Jack. He co-hosted a make-believe radio show with his cousin Bert starting at age seven. Each weekend during his high school days, he would climb the tallest tree in his neighbourhood with a portable radio, searching for signals from far-away lands.

Rich stands six feet tall, is of lean build, has green eyes and is a Pisces. The origin of the name Terfry is unknown. It is believed he is descended from pirates. Although the program is called Drive, Rich walks for an hour and a half to and from work each day.
