Hi! I was raised all over the country, Air Force
brat, and proud of it! I went to High School in
Colorado Springs where I met my husband. He is an Iowa
boy and we ended up here! I have 2 children, Steven is
24; lives in the Twin Cities; Diana is 20; lives in
Cedar Rapids.
My radio experience started at KGCI in Grundy Center
back in the 80’s. I started out working the computer
and eventually became the morning show personality. I
was hooked.
We moved to Decorah in 1994, just as KVIK was
getting ready to go on the air. I started out filling
in for Patty in the mornings, hey, I use to do it for
free!! Eventually, Les started letting me fill in for
him and he gave me my own special time on Tuesday
afternoon!
On March first of 2005 I was promoted to News
Director. That was an exciting day!! So now I come in
at 5:30 every morning and bring you news of the area
along with a little state information. I also play
music for you from 9 until 11 every morning. I enjoy
spending our time together! Thanks for visiting our
website. Let us hear from you!!

Country Gold also tells the "story behind the song," and spotlights the talented songwriters and musicians who've contributed to this great American song-form. The "Nashville Hotline" can ring at anytime, bringing country music's biggest starts to the show for a brief conversation.
