Frank Woods
Internal Sales Account Manager
frankwoods@krzk.com
Bio:
Frank is a St. Louis area native that fell in love with the microphone at a very early age. After a short stint in college I realized my radio career should start with practicality which meant a degree from Broadcast Center in St. Louis. A "Classic Rocker" at heart, I was the in-market producer for the "John Boy and Billy Big Show" in Keokuk Iowa. After moving to the Branson area in 2003 I was hired by then program director Scott McCaulley (a move he may still regret) as a studio engineer and fill-in part time air talent. I was the evening show host from 7-midnight on KRZK for the past few years. I am currently the Internal Sales Account Manager for Hometown Radio in Branson and KHOZ in Harrison. The best thing in life is spending time with my best friend, my wife Kathy and our 4 legged kids (all dogs). We enjoy traveling, our pontoon boat, atv's, good friends and family, and making each other laugh. Making the Ozarks our home has been a blessing.

Sue Swihart
Marketing Consultant

Bio:
Sue joined Hometown Radio in February 2007. Sue loves spending time with her granddaughter! Since I live on the lake, I love to spend most weekends year round feeding the fish! I would say "fishing" but it's actually feeding them, because I have yet to catch one since moving down here in 2006. My husband Fred, and everyone who has come to visit us has caught one or more!(My record fish is a 18 3/4 inch bass, while in NE.) When I'm not feeding the fish, I like to attend auction's. I enjoy living in Shell Knob,(the quiet side of the Lake) and the natural beauty that's here in the Ozarks.
