It's not often that a career in cross-country trucking leads to a career in radio -- but that's how it happened to Frank Welch. "It's true," he says. "I was listening to a lot of radio stations while driving around the country. My thought was, 'I could do better than that!' so I jumped into it." Today, Frank's definition of "drive time" has changed. The road to his current Classic Rock stint wound its way through a variety of radio stations including Dallas stations KCDU-FM, KLUB-FM and KVIL-FM. "I've done basically every on-air job you can do: jock, studio news reporter, street reporter, traffic reporter, sports reporter and more." These experiences have brought Frank news honors, including the Dallas Press Club's "KATY" Award and the Dallas U.P.I. Award. Frank believes he has an impact on his listeners because he genuinely enjoys his job. "I have a lot of fun on the air and I really believe that if you're having fun at something, people respond positively to you." Email Frank!

Michelle Michaels has a definite ability to chat. She is extremely annoying, and nobody else at the station likes her. Nobody. Michelle has been in the radio business for over 10 years in Detroit and Dallas. She got her start in AM radio in Anchorage, Alaska. Why we have her high school yearbook photo, I have no idea. Email Michelle!
Eric Crosslin is the goofy dude you hear on The Boss Morning Show. What else do you want to know? He likes long walks on the beach.By "walks," we mean sessions, and by "beach," we mean x-box. E-mail Eric

Christie moved from Detroit, Michigan to Bridgeport, Texas in May 2007. In her sales career over the last 15 years, she has sold everything from computers, to credit cards machines and GPS systems, to construction equipment and materials. New to Texas, she quickly started scanning for radio stations that played the type of music she liked, and that's when she came across 95.5 The BOSS. It turned out that they were looking to hire someone local to sell advertising, so she submitted her resume, got hired, and starting working for the station in July 2007. Off-air she handles sales, promotions, and public relations. On-air you can catch her co-hosting The Boss Morning Show, filling in on People to People, and at all Live Broadcasts with the The BOSS Street Team. Not long ago she started out as a rookie, and now, clearly she is on her way to stardom (wink)! Email Christie
