She's involved with several non-profit organizations within the community and also works for the Hamblen Co. Government. Michele loves to read, visit Savannah, Ga., watch old movies & ride around with the window down!

John grew up in the small historic town of Natchez Mississippi. He caught the radio bug early in life at age 13 and got his first “real” radio job when he was 15. He won’t mention what year that was. Let’s just say it was a few years ago. He has worked at radio stations in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and here in East Tennessee. John and his wife Ann like to hike, treasure hunt at thrift stores and just get lost in the mountains together. John is glad to be back with 105.7 WCRK FM and Ann’s happy about it too, being that it gets him out of the house!
