Mike-Hendren200x200
After having done just about every job under the sun (and some in total darkness, but that’s another story) Mike decided back in 2001 that it was time to ‘get it out of his system’ and take a shot at the radio biz. It had been on his mind for a long, long time, but it wasn’t until the summer of 2001 that he finally took the chance and well, here we are today. Mike is a native Texan and he and his family are proud to call Wichita Falls home. He’s the father of two teenagers and he and wife Miranda have been together for 18 years. The woman is clearly a saint.
