Oh, hello! I didn't see you there. I'm the manager for Radio Theatre here at KJACK. Our department produces and broadcasts any and all radio plays for the station. This is my first year as a manager and hope to do the station proud.

I'm the Assistant Engineer for KJACK! I'm learning as much about technical sound, software systems, and live mixing as I can. I'm minoring in EMF with an emphasis in the music production and mastering because it interests the heck out of me.
I love being a part of KJACK and all of the opportunities it offers.

Hey there. I am the Sports Director here at KJACK and this is my fourth and most likely final year involved with the radio station. I do play by play and color commentary for the NAU Ice Jacks hockey club and NAU women's basketball. I also have a show every Monday at 7pm called "You Don't Know Jack Sports". Feel free to e-mail me at jv229@nau.edu if you have any questions about the KJACK Sports team.

I am KJACK's Web Director. This puts me in charge of this website, our mobile site, as well as our Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. If you ever have an issue with any of those, drop me a line. Music is great, and I listen to everything from Katy Perry to Bon Iver (and decide that these are lines to draw.) I've been in KJACK for almost 3 years, and a manager for almost as long.
