Country music runs deep in my roots. As a young girl, my parents would listen to vinyl records of George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Bill Anderson and others on our turntable. In 1989, I waltzed into a radio and said, “I want to be on the air.” I was told to show up at midnight on Saturday and the rest is history. Lite Rock is where I started. However, when I got my first taste of being on a country station. It was like Strawberry Wine. I never looked back. Country music has taken me down the back roads of Illinois.

Being on the radio has been a dream of mine since I was 12 years old. Now, I’ve been doing it for over 40 years and it’s still like a dream. In those 40 plus years I’ve played everything from Classical music to Classic Rock….but there’s nothing like Country! It’s the music, the fans and the artists.

As a shy little girl growing up in a small Michigan town, Kris remembers listening to the her Mom’s shiny red kitchen radio and wondering “how” do they squeeze all those different people and musicians into one studio? To this day she can sing some of her favorite radio jingles. Curiosity led her to a radio career spanning three decades. When she’s not playing her favorite music and telling stories Kris is busy playing with her dog Lucy or hitting a thrift store in search of a vintage treasure to repurpose. Kris admits to being a serious foodie who loves comfort food, homemade bread and beer!

I caught the radio bug at a young age. As a kid he would lay in bed at night listening to stations from Chicago, Cincinnati, Nashville and Pittsburgh. Then as a teenager, he got to work at his high school radio station. FYI, I’m slightly taller than Kenny Chesney and about a foot shorter than Trace Adkins. In 1984 I married my high school sweetheart. I have 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, and 5 grandchildren. When I'm not on the air playing my favorite music (country) or hanging out with my family, I enjoy working outside. I love getting on my tractor and mowing. It is like therapy to me! I
