Jenn Czelada: Mornings & GM - 6 to 10 AM

Jenn has been in radio for over 25 years. She started at her high school station when she was just 14.  She and Ed have been married for 16 years and have finally been blessed with twin daughters Hosanna and Hallelujah after a long battle with infertility.    Jenn loves to travel, scrapbooking, quilting, and sewing.   Now that the twins are here she doesn't get to do much of that, but they're quickly learning how to crafts with mommy. 

Brian Dumont protests only having this tiny little space to describe himself!

He sent us 9 pages of information to add the the site:-)

Brian and his wife Jennifer are active at Mt. Hope Church in Lansing. They have 3 awesome kids, and sometimes Brian even shares his toys with them. 

Rob Dempsey had a tough childhood to put it mildly. He was an alcoholic by age 15 and lived on the streets of Florida. God used a friend's accident and the encouragement he received from Christian Radio to change his life. Rob knows the power of Christian radio to change lives first hand. Rob has a lovely wife and four teriffic kids. Rob has been on a journey to physical fitness and he's lost over 100+ pounds through diet and exercise.  

Faron is grew up as a PK (Preacher’s Kid) so he still hates potluck dinners.

He’s been married to Crystal for over 20 years. They have 3 kids: Mandi- 21, Alli- 18, and Chase- 13, and a grand-daughter, Truly Rose.

 Faron's favs include base-ball coaching, playing the guitar, and hanging with the family.

When I'm not working at Smile FM, you'll find me: Playing with my dog.  Dreaming of winning a shopping spree at Hobby Lobby.  Singing.  A bit about my Christian life: I've learned that Christianity is a living, active relationship with God...not a performance for Him.  If I could say one thing to Smile FM listeners: Thank you...thank you...thank you!!! Consider yourselves hugged!
