Meet The Team

We’ve been married since 1990 and have two adult children, Marcus and Natalee. Marcus and his wife, Amy, had our first grandbaby, Oliver, last year; so we’re a super-excited Nana and Papa! Over the past three decades, we’ve served in many areas of church leadership—worship, youth and children’s ministry, discipleship, and outreach—including pastoral roles. We’re especially grateful for the chance to share our story of a restored marriage, passing on the biblical principles and hard-won lessons that have helped us, so others can find hope and healing in their own relationships. Now, we’re excited to bring those conversations to the air—encouraging listeners each morning and building meaningful connections through real-life faith, laughter, and truth. Our passion is to help people discover their identity in Christ, deepen their walk with God, and walk confidently in their calling.

One word sums up my life: Adventure! 🎉

My love for radio kicked off when I was 4, wearing out my little Fischer Price record player. By 12, I was hooked after picking a song to play live on a station field trip. Then in college, I literally walked right into my Radio/TV major and launched a joyful 38-year ride sharing encouraging stories on stations from Alaska (my home state!) to Oklahoma, Florida, Ohio, the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia, and beyond. Now I’m super excited to join the 88.3 Journey Family here in the second-largest state—Texas, baby! (Though Alaska will always have a piece of my heart.)

When I’m off the air, my hubby Q (Quinten) and I flip houses, lead worship, and run our little hobby farm packed with chickens, ducks, goats, 3 cats, and 9 dogs—including chihuahuas, big fluffy Bernese Mountain Dogs and sweet Minibernedoodles. We’re so proud of our grown daughter Hosanna, who’s rocking it on the worship team and as a youth leader!

Fun facts: I’m all about donuts (glazed for days!), I really don’t like meatloaf, and thrifting + yard sales are my happy place. I got the best combo from my parents—Mom’s love for the Word and Dad’s contagious joy and laughter. My heart verse says it perfectly: Psalm 126:3 – “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with JOY!”

Can’t wait to chat with you every day—grab your coffee or energy drink, and let’s hang from 10-3everyday! ☕✨

“T-Lo” hails from the Windy City but got here as fast as he could. Now in his 35th year in broadcasting, Tony brings a fun and family-friendly approach to playing music and keeping you informed and entertained daily. Tony began his radio career at a small suburban Chicago daytime only 300-watt AM station that had no running water or heat. His Christmas bonus that year was a can of macadamia nuts and a pat on the back. After sticking with it, other opportunities opened in the Chicago area, and he learned from some of the best. After having enough snow for a lifetime, he relocated to Austin for a few years to play hits of the 60’s and 70’s. Then it was on to Dallas where he worked for a variety of stations until landing safely at 94.9 KLTY, where he spent 23 years offering hope and encouragement to thousands.Today, Tony loves being a part of your afternoon on 88.3 The Journey! He feels blessed and honored to be a part of the Journey family and strives to make it as smooth as possible, with inspiring music and a steady dose of positivity. Outside the studio walls, Tony loves spending time with his devoted wife, Jennifer, and eight amazing kids. His other passion is golf, and he is still looking for that elusive first hole in one.

From the second Penny heard the big radio stations in Boston, God had put it in her heart that this is what she was meant to do. She has moved all around the USA on her radio journey traveling the path God had in store for her in radio and now she feels very blessed to be able to share contagious encouragement with Keep The Faith. Life can be difficult at times, but sometimes all you need is a little reminder that God IS there and He IS in control….you are NOT alone. Penny is the mother of 3 beautiful boys, and an amazing husband.

Danae Marie joined our staff August of 2014. She’s not new to 88.3, Danae worked here as a student from 2007-2009. Danae is from Southern California but she’s lived all across the nation, even Hawaii for a year. She’s worked in radio in Texas and Michigan, in the classical and Christian formats. On the side she’s a personal trainer and a Triathlete. She loves spending time with her husband Jerrod and son Ethan doing just about anything. Her other hobbies include dogs, cooking and teaching acrobatic aerial silks. Her best friend is Jesus and she hopes that His Love shines through the airwaves on The Journey.

I’m grateful to be doing what I dreamed of doing when I first plugged a mic into my boombox and began recording myself on cassettes as a kid. I’ve worked in radio for over 25 years, but God has given so much more purpose to what I’m doing now and consider it a privilege to encourage each person to take one step closer in their faith journey.

I’ve been married to my incredible wife Aimee since 2001 and we have two boys, Ben & Caleb. When I’m not in a studio, you’ll likely find me outdoors running.

My love for radio started early — like, “hang-out-in-the-control-room-while-everyone-else-sits-in-the-audience” early.

As a kid, my dad would take me down to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for Ron Hutchcraft’s Saturday Night Alive. While the other kids were content watching the show, I was determined to see what was happening behind the glass. I think my dad knew it. I’m pretty sure Ron knew it. The radio bug had officially bitten.

Music has always been woven into my life. I’ve been playing a woodwind instrument since 4th grade — and growing up as the daughter of a church organist meant you had to stay ready. If someone didn’t show up for offertory or special music, it was, “Dad will bring you home. Take the hymnal. Pick a song. Grab the flute or clarinet. You’re up.” No pressure, right?

Most of my radio journey has been in Chicago, working in both Christian, Country and Top 40 formats — with stops in Houston and Orlando along the way. And now? I’m so grateful to call 88.3 The Journey home.

Off the air, I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for over 30 years. We have three grown sons (plus two incredible daughters-in-law!) living in the Chicago and Minneapolis areas. And of course, there’s our sweet, slightly wild, four-legged girl — Miss Porsche, the mini Bernedoodle — who we adopted from our very own Laura Chase!

I’m so thankful to spend Saturday afternoons with you from 3–7pm. Let’s turn up the music, lean into what God is doing, and enjoy the journey together.
