We’re Chadd & Kristi — a husband-and-wife morning show team turned travel and adventure creators who quite literally spend 24 hours a day together. What started as an on-air partnership eventually became a life built around storytelling, entertainment, travel, and shared experiences.

We first became an “on-air team” while working at Rock 104 and attending the University of Florida in Gainesville. Chadd, originally from Indiana, and Kristi, a Virginia native, eventually made Florida home for nearly 30 years before our broadcasting journey led us across the country — from Tampa Bay to Detroit and now to the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

Over the years, we’ve hosted morning radio shows in multiple major markets, including nearly 17 years on Tampa Bay’s Marconi Award-nominated Magic 94.9. We were also nominated for an Emmy Award for our television work with You On Demand. Following our time in Tampa, we launched B98.7 as its morning show team, with Chadd also serving as Director of Branding and Programming. After an unexpected format change and the challenges of the COVID era, our next chapter brought us to Oregon, where we now host mornings on 94.5 Mix FM while embracing everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Outside the studio, travel and exploration have become some of our biggest passions. We love discovering destinations that combine adventure, culture, food, wellness, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences — from international travel throughout Asia to scenic road trips across the Pacific Northwest and weekend escapes to places like Palm Springs.

We’re also massive theme park enthusiasts and love exploring parks around the world, including Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, Dollywood, Six Flags, Kings Island, Carowinds, Magic Mountain, and more. Whether it’s experiencing Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Universal Studios Hollywood, or discovering regional parks and hidden gems, we love the creativity, storytelling, thrills, and immersive worlds that make theme parks such a unique form of travel.

Our travels currently focus heavily on Asia — especially Thailand — as we explore the possibility of future long-term expat living abroad. Along the way, we share honest travel experiences, flight and hotel reviews, airport tips, food discoveries, wellness and beauty recommendations, packing strategies, and practical advice for travelers looking to make life feel bigger, richer, and more adventurous.

Family remains at the center of everything we do. We’re proud parents of two accomplished actors, Brendan and Emeline, and our French Bulldog, Charlie, completes the family. We’re also deeply passionate about charitable work, including hosting our annual Toys for Tots toy drive for nearly two decades and supporting hospitals, charity walks like Bark In The Park, the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks, and community events throughout the years.

Chadd is an avid soccer fan, while Kristi loves skincare, beauty, fitness, and wellness. Together, we share a passion for fitness, adventure, storytelling, and creating experiences worth remembering.

Whether we’re broadcasting live, hiking Oregon trails, flying across the world, exploring a new city, or riding roller coasters halfway around the globe — we’re excited to bring you along for the journey.
