Music / Program Director
I got my start in radio in February 1995 when a mysterious stranger recommended me to 97.5 KWVS, The Waves, then a classic rock station. I began on the overnight shift and moved to middays within six weeks. In May 1995, we switched to country, and I was in heaven! Under the guidance of Dr. Bruce Nelson Stratton, I learned the ins and outs of production, programming and advertising.
After decades in radio, I’m still happy to be part of a station that grows with the times, the music and whatever life brings. Our team is proud of our 2020 Texas Regional Radio Large Market Station and Personality of the Year honors, and our 2021 nominations. Led by Cyndi Rowden, we care about our music, our community, public service and the family of listeners and friends we’ve met along the way. Real people. Real values. This is 97.5 KFTX Real Country!
