Kris Bio
I was born September 11, 1974 in Waynesboro VA and have a been a resident of the great small town of Stuarts Draft all my life. I've got 5 siblings, 3 olders sisters, 1 older brother, and 1 younger brother. As a youngster, I attended Stuarts Draft Elementary (now Stump Elementary), Stuarts Draft Middle, and Stuarts Draft High School, from which I graduated in June 1992.
When I was 4 years old, I decided that I wanted to be a disc jockey, and heard the day after graduation that WKDW in Staunton was looking for part-time help, so I applied, and was hired. There have been so many highlights in the 20 years at WKDW. I've gotten to do a lot of things, and meet a lot of people that I otherwise wouldn't have. Being a huge fan of the Statler Brothers, the day they first came by for an interview, is one I'll never forget.
I host the Country Club in the Morning Radio Show on WKDW (6-10am) and can be found in the community at schools, etc a lot of the time.
In my spare time, I love all types of music, am an avid sports fan (Orioles, Redskins, and UVA) and for more than 11 years have been a Big Brother with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of the Central Blue Ridge.
One of the thrills of my life came in 2002, when I was named the local chapter's Big Brother of the Year. In October 2008, I became a Big Brother to a young man named Dalton, who's 14. He my best friend and truly is the greatest little brother in the world!
I am currently happily single and reside in Stuarts Draft.
Natural Bridge is for sale. Natural Bridge! The sale of the world-famous Virginia landmark includes the bridge, the 150 room hotel, and the Natural Bridge Caverns.
Natural Bridge is one of the natural wonders of the world and was once owned by Thomas Jefferson. It was was named a National Landmark in 1998.
This is one of my favorite places, I even took my Little Bro Dalton and we celebrated our first anniversary being "Brothers" at Natural Bridge a few years ago.
The current owner is in his late 80’s and purchased the property in the 1980’s. Woltz & Associates in Roanoke is handling the sale.
Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles has announced that she will step away from the duo this fall and release her first solo country album. The award-winning songwriter and entertainer has recruited famed producer Rick Rubin to oversee the recording.
Former Nascar Winston Cup Series driver Richard "Dick" Trickle, 71, has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in Boger City, North Carolina.
Trickle made 303 Cup starts from 1970-2002, posting 15 top-5 finishes and 36 top 10s. He also scored two Nationwide Series wins in 1997 & 1998, but is remembered for winning more than 1,000 short-track feature races across the United States.
This song ("How To Be A Country Star") is going to be part of my Statler Brother Double-Shot tomorrow morning.... I just saw this performance video and thought I'd share it with you.
