We are a morning show team that not only spends mornings together but 24 hours a day together as husband and wife!

We became an “on-air team” while working at Rock 104 and attending the University of Florida in Gainesville. Chadd, a native of Indiana, and Kristi, a Virginia native, were Florida transplants, calling the Tampa Bay area home for nearly 30 years.

Along the way, we had two children – Brendan & Emeline. Both are accomplished actors, with Brendan appearing on the hit CBS show “Criminal Minds” and in the award-winning drama “Booth at the End” for the FX Network. Emeline has appeared in the dark comedy “Play Date” and in a commercial for “The Office” star Rainn Wilson’s production company, appearing with internet sensation Kid President. Our French Bulldog, Charlie, rounds out the family.

After being on the air at different radio stations, we began our morning show run in Tampa Bay on the Marconi Award-nominated radio station Magic 94.9, spending almost 17 years there. We were also nominated for an Emmy Award for our television work with You On Demand. After leaving Magic 94.9 in 2016, we launched the new B98.7 Adult Contemporary radio station, where we appeared as the morning show. Chadd was also the radio station’s Director of Branding and Programming.

After a format change, we zoomed up I-75 to the Motor City to helm the morning show at 98.7 The Breeze in Detroit for 18 months. Then, like everyone else, the COVID pandemic changed our lives with the untimely cancellation of The Breeze.

But, as with everything else, when one door closes, another opens. That door was to the studio at 94.5 Mix FM and a wonderful opportunity to venture to the Pacific Northwest to take over mornings in beautiful Eugene, Oregon, where we love to hike, discover breathtaking waterfalls, roadtrips to the Coast & adventuring up & down I-5 through the Willamette Valley.

We have a passion for charitable work, throwing our annual Toy Drive for Toys for Tots for 18 years; visiting with children and families, as well as cancer patients at hospitals; and hosting various walks and charity functions throughout the year.

Chadd is an avid soccer fan. Kristi has a love of all things skincare, beauty, fitness & wellness. Both are fitness enthusiasts who love hitting the gym. 

When we’re not working, we love getaway weekends around Oregon and beyond to places like Palm Springs. We are avid theme park enthusiasts visiting such places as Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland California, as well as Universal Studios Hollywood in California and, of course, all of the great theme parks in Florida.
