- How did you end up working at the Q?
- While out of the ministry for a year and living in South Florida, our first General Manager interviewed me in the fall of 1992. Though I liked Florida, and was "comfortable", the Lord impressed on me that I was in preparation for this position in Wisconsin and the time would come that I would be at Q-90 FM. I visited in May 1993 (excepted the Position), started right away and then officially moved to Green Bay in January 1994.

- My prayer for Q-90:
- That God would have His way!! And NOT to be the Biggest Radio Station, but instead the Most effective.
