I’ve lived in Wisconsin for almost 20 years now after moving to this great state for my first job in morning country radio back in 2005. Stop number one in my radio career was La Crosse, WI. Since then I’ve done mornings in Stevens Point/Wausau, Green Bay, and all over Minnesota, too! And now here I am on your radio!
Before all that, I grew up in the Northeast corner of Ohio and then attended college in central Ohio at Denison University. Shout out to the Leetonia Bears Class of 2001 and the DU Class of 2005!
Here are some things you may not know about me: Although I love winter (it’s my favorite season), I equally love spending all summer in my vegetable garden. When I’m not in my pink kitchen cooking up vegetarian recipes, more than likely I’m taking bubble baths, reading mystery novels (sometimes while in a bubble bath), cheering for THEE Ohio State Buckeyes, or officiating weddings. I mean, who wouldn’t want to get Married By McKenna!?!?
My own marriage is a little unconventional to most. I married my best friend from college many years after we graduated (in 2023) but I still don’t live with him in the same house yet. We’re working on that but for now he lives in a completely different state. So in the meantime, my favorite way to spend a Friday night is watching Dateline with my cat (Phil Dawson) on my lap.
My favorite thing about spending time with each of you every day (beyond playing your favorite songs) is interacting with you! Getting to know you and sharing in your life and your loves is what it’s all about! It makes my day to hear from so many of you–sharing stories and hearing how I’ve made you laugh or even made you cry never gets old!
