Meet the Staff

Station Manager

Early-Afternoon Host

Dave started in radio as a part-time employee at KJOL in 2005, moved onto full time, and now has over 19 years of ministry with this station behind him. He holds a bachelors degree from CCU. Dave bears the distinction of being the only employee raised from birth by former manager Ken Andrews (he is his son). Married to his beautiful wife Susun, they have four young but extremely cute children (they take after their mom), Elias, Ellianna, Abigail, and Zion. When he is not watching his kiddos, changing diapers, or cooking for his family, Dave enjoys the shooting sports, reloading, hunting, reading, naps, a good movie, traveling, and spending time with his wife. 

Public Affairs Director

Morning Show & Mid-Day Host 

Zane began his radio career 40 years ago at a Christian station in Springfield, Missouri while earning a bachelor’s degree at Evangel University. He has spent the last 20 years doing secular radio in Grand

Junction. As the son of a minister, he’s excited about the opportunity to join the staff at KJOL in spreading the good news of the Gospel across the Western Slope.  

When he can find spare

time, you’ll find Zane on the golf course, running on the Riverfront Trail, watching football and

basketball, listening to music, or just having a cup of coffee with his wife.

Saturday and Sunday Host

Nikki graduated from CMU in 2013 with a radio broadcasting degree. She has been in radio since 2014 and is excited to be a part of the KJOL team! In her free time, she can be found hiking with her husband Nate, playing board games, trying new foods, or snuggling her kitties. Although there are many beautiful areas to explore locally, her favorite way to adventure is traveling out of the country, to see more of God's beautiful creation.  

Music Director

Afternoon Drive Host

Kurt has been with KJOL since 1990, during which time he has played "Adventures in Odyssey" approximately 6875 times and counting!  He has also been hosting the “contemporary music program” on Saturday nights for so long that the original songs are now “classic” rather than “contemporary”!  His broadcast career began in 1979 at KTWR-SW (shortwave) and KTWG-AM in Guam owned by Trans World Radio.  He has worked at various radio stations in Grand Junction since 1985.  Kurt enjoys camping and hiking with his dogs Molly and Patches.

VP, United Ministries

Evening Praise Host

Ken has been well known as KJOL's Station Manager for most of its history. Recently "semi-retiring," he still works part time on-air and consulting. It is safe to say that this ministry wouldn't exist without his dedicated effort and superb leadership through the years. Ken has worked in Christian Radio off and on since 1973, and in Grand Junction since 1985. Prior to entering the ministry of Christian Radio, he worked for several years in a variety of “secular radio” formats. Married to his wife, Wendy, they have four grown children and 12 grandchildren. When not working, Ken prefers to be found hunting, shooting, teaching concealed carry, riding his horse, "Madd Dawg," or hanging out with family - and especially those grandkids!

Saturdays & Sundays Host

In the early 80s Doug was involved with a local singing group call the Colorado Singers. The manager of the group at the time worked with Howard Owen (our founder) at KJOL. Doug was asked to take a position at the radio station as an on-air personality. He quickly took to the position and moved into the evening spot. Ken Andrews came on as station manager during that time. Under his leadership and what was then Western Bible Institute (Now Colorado Christian University), the station rose to one of the top three radio stations on the Western Slope by the Nielsen ratings. It was an exciting time. Doug now has a master’s degree in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and we are proud to have him continue ministry here at KJOL.
