Kim on Kim:

I was born in Santa Fe, N.M. and stayed there through high school. The Southwest is a very raw and beautiful part of the world. We lived close to the ski basin and that made for some great memories year round. I enjoyed Fall hikes to see the leaves change and great snowball fights after the first snow. I loved going on picnics with my family. I also enjoyed great talks with my Dad when he would take me fishing. As a child and through my high school years I enjoyed our church youth group, singing and drama. (both on and off the stage....I was a teenager.) I graduated from High School in 1986- a true 80’s girl with big bangs and leg warmers.

Radio was not “my” original plan. As a single mom with two small children I worked through college and was asked to be a guest on our university’s radio station. It only took one time and I was hooked on radio and knew it was something I really wanted to do as a “hobby.” I went on to complete my Bachelors Degree in Psychology thinking I would become a counselor. God had other plans!

I have been in radio since 1994, with previous stations including my college station- Wayland's KWLD- Plainview, TX. My first morning co-hosting job was in South Dakota -Rapid City's KSLT. I moved back to Texas and worked the weekends for Free 107 in Lubbock. God moved me to Nashville and I worked for WAY-FM. I also spent some time with Salem's XM station - The Fish.

My favorite movie is and will always be "It's a Wonderful Life." Life can be so hard. I think there are times when we hit that bump in the road and we forget that God has us here for a unique purpose. This little movie has been a sweet reminder to me and so many others that this world would be a less pleasant place without you and me in it. That may seem a little "sweet" but I think we need a little more sweet in our lives. I would love to watch the movie year round but my girls don’t let me pull it until Thanksgiving at the earliest.

My oldest daughter-Lauren is entering her Freshman year at college and my youngest daughter- Alexia is moving into her Junior year in High School. Both of them are the joy of my life! I could not have accomplished much of what I have become with out there sweet strength and encouragement. They are two of the coolest people I have ever known.

My favorite scripture is Jeremiah 29:11. My sweet mother taught me this verse when I was a child and sense then it has been my sweet reminder that there is light at the end of the tunnel for you and for me. The verse says “I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” He has done that and continues to do that. I am grateful........and still a work in progress.
