Meet the Radio CIA Staff

Mike	Station owner and program director Mike Jones served in the military (US Air Force) and has worked variously as a paramedic, a lab tech, and a new car salesman before finding his niche 19+ years ago as an air traffic controller. Mike is approaching retirement from government service and making plans for the future. His broadcasts run the gamut from classic and contemporary country, to bluegrass, to Southern/Country gospel programming, originating from the Reagan Memorial - Headquarters Studios in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Miz Deb	Miz Deb is the product of a conservative Christian upbringing in the south, and is Mike's better half. A domestic engineer by trade, she enjoys arts and crafts, collecting and decorating with Coca-Cola memorabilia, cooking, PC games, and she's pretty handy with her 9mm, too! The hostess of "Sentimental Journey", Miz Deb invites you to join her on a stroll down Memory Lane every Monday evening as she spins a variety of music from Big Band to Fifties rock-n-roll, and everything in between, broadcasting from the Reagan Memorial - Headquarters Studios.
Mark	Mark White, our Ministry Director and Resident Rantmeister- An ex-navy Cold War veteran, volunteer fireman/paramedic, 18 years law enforcement, currently working as a Private Investigator specializing in Insurance Fraud. Mark comes from a fourth generation Conservative Christian family. No, he's not a real Yankee, but did once live behind enemy lines and carefully hid the drawl. Specialty - Slicing, Dicing and Exposing the Idiots of the Loony Left™. He spins some pretty good tunes, too, from the Reagan Memorial - Headquarters Studios.
Sandy	Sandy is Mark's better (and prettier) half. Originally from Canada, Sandy has lived in the US for over 11 years and hopes to one day become a US citizen. When she's not busy working in retail management, Sandy plays an eclectic mix of musical styles, does a little conservative chat, and keeps Mark in line from day to day at the Reagan Memorial - Headquarters Studios.
Kat	Kat is the wife of a Navy veteran with whom she's still madly in love after over 20 years together. She is also the mother of a delightful and sweet daughter, who makes her mom's heart sing with joy on a regular basis. Since she lives in a very rural area, Kat gets to wake up to God's glorious creation every day and rejoice in all the blessings He has given. Learning more about God's word and character is a passion, and this is her opportunity to share what she's learned. She hosts Radio CIA's newest show, "Sacred Hideaway," from the Southern Belle Studio in south central Virginia.
Misha	Misha (yes, that IS his real nickname, although his given name is Michael) grew up overseas, which has given him a slightly peculiar accent that he, no matter how much he has shed his old loyalties and has become an American, can’t seem to get rid of. Growing up next to the Big Bear during the Cold War meant that he ended up on the ramparts watching for an attack that, thankfully, never came. Having been nothing more than an expendable trip wire for all of his days in the service has given him a slightly cynical view of life and, most importantly, has taught him a great deal about the evils of socialism and the unconquerable strength of people who have God on their side. Currently he’s busy enjoying freedom to the fullest, raising a family and taking full advantage of all of the innumerable benefits of being an American. That, and trying to explain to people why his taste in music seems to suggest that he was born about 40 years too late. Misha broadcasts from our new Republic of Texas Studios located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Rev. Billy R. Douglas	Brother Billy has been preaching the gospel since he was 19 years old. He is the president and founder of Voice of the LORD Ministries based in Livermore, KY. Throughout his 21 years of ministry he has been singing and preaching over the Radio, in tent revivals, street ministry, etc. Each week for the past 10 years his singing and preaching have been featured on the Voice of the LORD Broadcast which has aired over FM, AM, Shortwave and Internet stations all around the world. It is his love for Gospel music that inspired him to launch "The Old Gospel Ship" a weekly music program featuring Country and Southern Gospel music which debuted in September of 2005. Catch The Old Gospel Ship Sundays at 1:30pm Central time.
Jason Farris	Jason enjoys the country life with his wife and two children in New Brunswick, Canada. He has been a successful business owner of varying interests for many years now, and is currently involved in web hosting and online automotive classifieds. Outside of business, Jason has a love for music, both playing and singing. So, it was not a stretch to move into Radio. When new "Gospel & Praise" station CJRI opened up in his neighborhood, he was knocking on the door to help. Jason served as Music Director and weekend afternoon host for the first year of the station's operation. Time commitments forced him to stop, but he was hooked at that point. Thus began Riverside Country from his home in August, 2006. CJRI was happy to air the show, then other local stations asked about it. From that point, it has spread to numerous FM and Internet radio stations throughout Canada, the US, and abroad. Riverside Country airs Sundays at 2:30pm and 10pm Central time.
Royel Clark	Royel Clark grew up in Texas singing for friends and neighbors for fun. In the 8th grade he joined a local rock & roll band called "The Velvetones." As he matured he grew fonder of country music and joined "The Uptown Countrymen" and shortly afterwards he hooked up with some talented musicians and they formed the "Southfork Band". As front man and lead vocalist, Royel and the band made contacts with 'Dallas' the TV series and "Southfork" the band became frequent visitors at the ranch. Today Royel is a producer/singer/songwriter/publisher and promoter for the Christian music industry! In 2006, Royel started the Texas Gospel Jamboree Radio show and has gone worldwide into 201 countries and in syndication on several AM/FM radio stations across America.

Brad Wilson	Brad Wilson started in radio broadcasting at the age of 14. He is in the record books as being one of the youngest radio announcers ever. His very first radio job was at KYAL Radio in Mckinney, Texas playing gospel music on Sunday mornings. He went on to have a 16-year career behind the microphone at some of the leading radio stations in Dallas-Ft. Worth. Even though he worked in various formats, his love for country gospel has always been there. Making it even closer to home is the fact that his father is legendary country gospel DJ Bob Wilson. Brad hosts the syndicated show America's Country Gospel.
