Meet The Promise FM Team

DIRECTOR OF DONOR DEVELOPMENT

Born and raised in northern Michigan, I have worked at the Promise FM since October 2014. My husband, Nick and I are blessed with four young, rambunctious children that we thank God for everyday. They provide constant energy that keeps us on our toes – we would not have it any other way. I’m so thankful to be a part of God’s work at the Promise FM and I love how much I’ve grown in my walk with Jesus and look forward to what He has in store for this ministry!

MORNING SHOW CO-HOST

Wife, Mama, and Nanny are Sarah's favorite titles! Sarah is the author of A Journey Called Grief and has traveled the US encouraging people that they can make it through whatever lands on their doorstep by nuzzling into Jesus. Sarah is an exercise enthusiast and a lover of lake life!

Fun Fact: Sarah charted #30 on the 2008 Billboard charts with her song "Christmas In Heaven".

Sarah's Life Verse is Psalm 46:5, “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”

Afternoon Host

I was born in Evansville, Indiana, but have lived in Kentucky, Texas, Missouri, Iowa and Arizona prior to joining the Promise FM. Being able to combine the opportunity to work in radio and share the love of Jesus with others makes every day a blessing for me.

Before catching the radio bug I received much of my training in production and sound by working as an audio engineer and lead guitarist while traveling with bands all over the country. I love being outdoors and get out to hike and run every chance I get. I have two cats, Hunter and Abigail, who basically rule the house and are gracious enough to let me live there. A couple of my favorite verses are Psalm 33:4 and Jeremiah 29:11.

BUSINESS & PARTNERSHIP UNDERWRITER

I've learned you're never too old to grow with Jesus. He'll use us, If we're willing, until our last breath. I've been listening to Christian radio since I accepted Christ in 1987. My husband, Scot and I, moved to Northern Michigan 9 years ago. We have three adult sons and three grandsons.  Justin is married to Elizabeth and they have our oldest grandson, Gavin. Kellen is married to Katie and they have Brantlee and Brooks. Our youngest son Bryce lives in San Diego and loves it there. I enjoy being outdoors in God's creation walking trails or on the water in a boat. I feel so blessed to be working with the gifted and wonderful team of individuals with Northern Christian Radio and its business partners.

BOARD TREASURER

Kim joined the Promise FM Board as its Treasurer in 2018 following his participation in the Promise’s Holy Land trip where he and Pat Scott connected while walking along the Sea of Galilee together.  Pat is a master recruiter.

Born in Detroit and raised in Livonia, Kim is an avid Michigan fan [BBA 1971; MBA 1977].  His career at Ford spanned 35 years and was highlighted by an overseas assignment as Managing Director of Ford Credit Taiwan where his grasp of Mandarin was “buhau” [translation:  not good].

Kim has been married to his beloved wife Pam for 49 years and they have 4 great kids and 13 grandkids ranging from 2 - 19.  Family is a blessing.

Kim’s love for the Lord and desire to serve have been fulfilled while on the Promise FM Board.  His connection with Pat started with their shared passion for Right to Life issues and has deepened over time with many conversations on how we can use the power of radio to reach a world that needs Jesus.

Being a part of the Promise FM team is a privilege as we serve the Lord together.  Our goal is simple, to hear these words:  Well done, good and faithful servant.

BOARD MEMBER

I was born in Saginaw, MI where I grew up in the country. I met my wife, Marie, in high school. We were married in 1974. In 1979, we moved to Gaylord and started Listvan, Inc, a plumbing and heating company.

My life changed in 1989 after I heard a contemporary Christian song. Prior to that, I thought I had it all - good health, great wife, beautiful children, thriving business. But something was desperately wrong - No Jesus. Together Marie and I started down a different path. We now have 3 married daughters and 9 grandchildren. God has blessed our families beyond measure!

This is my second term with TPFM. Looking back over the years, I can see how this ministry has changed so many lives- including mine.
