As a little girl I can remember always wanting to be in radio. I wanted to be a "KTTS Ranch-hand." (KTTS is a country radio station in Springfield, Missouri where I'm from. Ranch Hands are the on-air staff.) Infact, I would walk around the house giving the weather forecast. You know, just to get in practice for my big debut. My first radio job was on-air at KADI in Springfield, MO from there I went to television, KYTV or KY3 as it is known in Springfield. I wanted to see the television side of things in case I wanted to take Dan Rather's job someday, but I kept working in radio at KGBX just incase. I liked radio better so, I went back to radio fulltime after a few years, I left Missouri to see what else was out in the world. I moved to Roanoke, Virginia and worked in radio at Magic FM for several years..
Virginia is where I met my husband Mike. We now live in Michigan which is where most of his family lives, my family is scattered over the whole country. I got a job doing midday's at W4 Country in Ann Arbor and have worked there for the last three years. However, working in Ann Arbor was very emotional for me. I found out I was pregnant and that my mom was dying right about the same time, so, it was bitter-sweet. I made sure my mom knew I was going to have a baby. I will never forget what she said to me, she said "there is always room for another." At that time she had about 13 grandkids. I was with my mom when she passed away and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. But a few months later the sadness turned to joy when I had a little baby girl we named Taylor Morgan. I know my mom would have been pleased, I sure was. A few months after Taylor was born I found out that "Oops, I did it again"...I was pregnant with my second baby. Trent Michael was born a few months later. Taylor and Trent are twelve months a part and my pride and joy. They are truely the loves of my life. Taylor is now 2 years old and Trent is now 1 year old and yes, they keep me hopping..
I just thought I would let you get to know a little about me. And with all that being said, let me say one last thing. I am thrilled to be a part of the team here at 99.5 WYCD and I hope to be around for a long time.
