You can hear me doing the news on several of our stations each day. To hear more from you will need to tune into KEEL. I am half of the KEEL Morning Show team with Mike Martindale. Every weekday morning, we cover the hottest topics that impact our local, national and global communities. I am a proud mother of two sons. My oldest served 4 years in the Marines and came home to get his college degree and is now back in the military. My youngest son is still serving in the Marines.
