On-Air Team

My job involves On-Air  weekday mornings 630am-10am and Saturday 6am-Noon., Production Director, Chief Engineer, Technical Director, ITT, & Assistant Program Director
I was born and raised in the Houston area and dreamt of becoming a DJ since I was 7 years old when I got a little reel-to-reel tape recorder. I played “DJ” for hours and hours.
Although I was raised in church, I did not accept Jesus as Savior until my senior year in high school. After graduation, I moved to San Augustine and enrolled at Stephen F. Austin State University. After spending one semester at SFA I felt the call to ministry and transferred to Jacksonville Baptist College in Texas.
Presently I live in San Augustine with the love of my life, my wife Linda, whom I married in 1979. We have two grown daughters and five grandchildren.

We both pastor CrossRoads Christian Center Church, where I also play the guitar and lead worship. Linda and I both love Geocaching. I also do a daily blog based on reading the Bible called Morning Thought

I started with KSWP in 1986 as a volunteer installing a telephone system, slowly working myself on-the-air, then into production, and engineering. I volunteered for nine years before becoming part of the full-time staff.

Michelle is On-Air mid-day 10:00am -3:00pm. She is the General Manger; Program & Music Director and oversees the Production & Promotions Departments. Michelle is married to Al Ross.

God began changing my life as a child. My first memories of Him continue to be what my reality is today, a simple understanding of the deep, inconceivable truth that He loves me.

Connie initially volunteered for KSWP in the 1980s as a teen. In March of 1991, she moved to the place she had dreamed about living in since she was a kid. Nashville Tennessee. She worked on the business side of music for 23 years at Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI). 

Connie grew up in church but didn’t come to know the Lord as her personal Savior until she was 16. “Things were different for me from that moment because I knew that I belonged to Jesus, and I wanted to live for Him.”

God called her to ministry, and she is now serving Him at KSWP/KAVX Christian Radio as Production Assistant, Web Design, On-Air (7-midnight) and various other things.

Connie is a singer/songwriter and worship leader and is currently editing her first Bible study called A Lifestyle of Worship. She is also a ladies Bible teacher at Southside Baptist Church in Lufkin. 

She has three cats, Crockett, Jack, and Annie. No matter what Tim Swanson says, Crockett is a beautiful Cat.

Zephaniah 3:17

Yahweh, your God is in your midst; A Mighty Warrior who saves. He shall rejoice over you with joy; He renews you in His love; He will rejoice over you with loud singing. 

You can hear Becky on the weekends on KSWP/KAVX. She also fills in on other weekend shifts when needed.

She began as a volunteer on-air personality for nearly two years in 1995.

After leaving the East Texas area for nearly 20 years, God provided an opportunity for her to return to KSWP/KAVX and she loves being a part of the ministry!

Becky grew up in Lufkin and graduated from Lufkin high school. She received her Education degree from SFA and teaching in private and public schools for over 20 years. She is the Director of Curriculum and Instruction for elementary and Intermediate ELA and Social Studies. 

Becky made a public profession to Christ through believer’s baptism at 24 years old, after being raised in the church and confirmed as a teenager. “I grew to see that I needed to be sure I’d made the decision myself, and I needed to discover God was available to me personally.”

Becky married her husband Steve in 1992, and they have three children – 2 sons and a daughter.

She is happy to share how God grew their family through adoption and help others struggling with being able to start a family.

Becky enjoys shopping, crafting, and any activities with her family.

One of her favorite things is sharing God’s word and love through on-air ministry!

Stephaine was raised in church and loved the Lord but ended up leaving as a teenager and began living for the world. She ended up living a life of addiction, lost her children, and became homeless. She began hearing the Lord tell her to “take up her cross and follow Him.” She finally went into a discipleship home in Alto, Texas in 2016 and gave her life to the Lord. Since then, God has restored her to her four wonderful children and given her a transformed life in Him. She has been living in Alto ever since.

Stephaine started working at KSWP/KAVX in early 2022 as an IT assistant and On-Air (Midnight – 6am)

“I am so grateful for everything the Lord has done in my life”.

Favorite Scripture:

Jeremiah 29:11 for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
