Meet The Team

Hometown:  Washington DC

Family: My wife Adrienne and I were married in 1994.  Our daughter Devin was born in 1997.

Career: I started in Christian radio in 1987 as a senior in high school.  I have worked in small, large and major markets doing Christian, Country and Top 40 formats.  Radio has taken me from DC, to Richmond, Miami, New England and now Lynchburg.  Basically the whole east coast!

Activities:  My favorite thing is spending time with my wife.  We attend a lot of sporting events including football, basketball, baseball and softball. And we love to watch Formula 1 and IMSA racing.

Hometown: Chesapeake, Virginia

Family: My husband Phil and I were married in 2013. Currently we have no children, but hope to in the future. Right now we are enjoying our time together with our dog, who is a Ridgeback Boxer mix.

Career: I started my career working at WTKR in Norfolk VA, as a sports reporter/editor. I then moved to Lynchburg, Virginia and was the host of Living in the Heart for 4 years. Now I am on The Morning Journey with you and I love it!

Activities: When I am not on the radio I love kayaking and hiking, along with walking my dog. I also enjoy watching my favorite team, the Washington Redskins. Some of my hobbies include, puzzles, scrapbooking, and writing.

Hometown: I was born in Ohio, spent 23 adventurous years in Alaska, college in Oklahoma, then raised a daughter in Florida.  

Family: Married to Mr. Incredible, or “Q” as others call him.  He’s in finance, which is great because I never balance the checkbook.  Our very joyful daughter, Hosanna, is grown and the youth leader in our church.  We’ve been through the fostering/adoption process and will be adding to our family soon!  We own a small zoo comprised of 3 tiny dogs, 2 quirky cats, a lovable pet rat and a very talented fish.  

Career: Fell in love with radio on a 7th grade field trip where the DJ asked me to choose 2 songs to play on the air – I was instantly hooked.  Was ecstatic to find that I could major in Radio/TV at the Christian college I had applied to and was honored to not only work there but help keep it running as well.  

Activities: I’m up for anything fun and spontaneious: soft-serve twist ice cream and a movie, hitting a clearance rack, DIY renovations, puppy stores, friends’ houses, Bible studies, comedy nights, ChickFila, crashing on our enormous couch to watch the latest Hallmark movie or medical drama.  Side note: we  put on our comfy pjs as soon as we get home, no matter what time of day it is.  Oh, and my favorite activity of all, deep-dish pepperoni pineapple pizza!

Activities: I enjoy running my podcast, Christian Media talk, as well as writing.

Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA

Family: I am single and recently moved my retired mother and her sister in with me. I call them the “Golden Girls”!

Career: I started out working weekends at a gospel station in Pittsburgh. I left there and went to the gospel station across town to do the morning show. While doing the morning show I simultaneously started filling in as the afternoon talk host at a Christian Talk station in Pittsburgh all the while ski reporting (yes, you read that right) for Mountain News. I then worked for 2 different gospel networks, Rejoice! and Sheridan Gospel. I left Sheridan to join Brant’s show.

Activities: I love writing. I love producing things like stage plays, musicals, dramas, comedies, etc. When I’m not doing that I’m spending as much time with family and friends as is humanly possible.

Hometown: I moved around a LOT growing up. Very small towns in Illinois and Indiana. My graduating class was 27 people in Assumption, Illinois.

Family: I have been married for 28+ years! Our kids are grown up. Our son is an officer in the military, and our daughter just graduated from college.

Career: I wanted to be a baseball play-by-play guy, but I can’t see very well. I was a youth pastor for several years before starting part-time on a Christian radio station as a news man. 

Favorite activities: I exercise every day, but I don’t really enjoy it that much. Hmm… I like reading and sitting around just thinking about stuff. I write books and things, so I also enjoy avoiding the writing I need to do.
