My name is Kelly, and I’m the Music & Program Director and morning show host for the Call FM radio network in South Florida. I’ve never really considered myself a “morning person,” but when I flip on the mic at 6 AM every weekday morning, I mysteriously transform  into one for three hours. (It might have something to do with the excessive caffeination.) In addition to my job on the radio, I serve at Life Pointe Church as the Communications Director. 

As a kid I used to entertain myself by recording fake radio shows on cassette tapes and filming news broadcasts on my grandparent’s clunky VHS camcorder. It just made sense that I would end up in the communication field. I went to Southeastern University in Lakeland Florida, and on the first day of my communication orientation I decided to drop the major. I broke out in a sweat and felt like vomiting at the thought of speaking out loud in front of people, and I knew I would never get through it.  After a semester of trying to get interested in something else, I sat down and made a list of everything I really wanted to do in life. Every single thing on my list was in the area of communication. I decided to suck it up and get over my fear, and three years later I graduated with a BS in Communication.

I was born in the great state of Ohio (go Buckeyes!), but have moved all over the place since then. I spent a good chunk of my childhood in Indonesia, where my parents served as missionaries, and have lived in different parts of Florida and Ohio off and on for years. After a brief stint in Mexico, my family moved to South Florida in 1995 and I’ve been here ever since. (305 ‘til I die, woohoo!!!!!!!!)

If you’re ever looking for a way to engage me in a conversation, the best way to do it is to mention anything about the Florida Marlins. You will have my undivided attention immediately.

Along with my love of baseball, I love music, talking, blogging, watching movies, reading, hanging out with friends and family, Chipotle, and bears.
