RYAN
Born and raised in Maine and lived in New England all my life! I started having a passion for radio in high school. I interned on a local sports talk show on WTVL-FM / Waterville, ME doing sports trivia. Then I began my full-time job at WWWA-FM / Augusta, ME in 1999, where I had the privilege of becoming the station manager for The Worship-FM Network. In 2021, I was given an opportunity to share life & faith once again on the air here.
I love to travel, especially to places with beaches and water! I LOVE Mexican food! I could eat tacos several times a week! I'm a big fan of all New England sports teams (Sox, Pats, Celts & B's). I enjoy swimming and playing volleyball. Oh and if you like playing board games or cards, I'm there!!! I love being with family and serving with my church family in student ministry and technology! I love to share life, faith & God's amazing goodness through His Son, Jesus here at REACH-FM!

JOE
I live in a house full of females... my wife, Nicole, and my two daughters, Whitney and Brooklyn, along with our lovable dog, Gracie. I am a huge fan of sports, especially the South Carolina Gamecocks and of Baltimore sports teams, as that is where I was born and raised.
After college, I moved to Maine for a job in Christian Radio. I met my wife in Maine and both of my daughters were born here. We love this great state and I'm thrilled to be a part of The Reach FM family.

KAYLEE
My name is Kaylee and I am so excited to be a part of the REACH-FM team! I am a relatively easy going gal that enjoys time spent with family and friends, making memories and creating stories! I am so grateful for my relationship with Christ, and all He has done in my life thus far. He really has a way of guiding you once you let him. God has made my path to where I am now very clear, and I am hoping that whatever the future brings is where he wants me to be!

MATT
Matt did his first radio show on a pretend station in his bedroom when he was nine years old. By 13, he was actually on the air at a college station in his hometown and got his first paying job in radio in high school and has been doing it ever since!
Matt is a family guy who adores his kids Arianna and Cameron.
He loves music, sports, techie gadgets and Jesus! Matt is active in his church, serving as a Life Group leader for four years and as audio leader for the worship team for the past 13 years.
Matt says, “There’s so much darkness in a lot of the world around us. I want to be a light in that darkness, to encourage and uplift while pointing people toward the ultimate hope — Jesus!”

samantha
I spent my grade-school years on the Caribbean island of Bonaire where my parents were missionaries with Trans World Radio, along with about 40 other families, broadcasting Christian music and programming into all of South and Central America, and at night into China. We lived in the community, and the missionary kids went to the local schools. We spoke English at home, Dutch at school and Papiamento with the neighbors.
My family moved every 2 – 4 years, and the moving continued, after I married a wonderful man, including being stationed on Terceira Island in the Azores, where our younger son was born, and later in England. The various moves afforded us a unique perspective on life in a variety of cultures and a great love and respect for our country. When my husband retired from the Air Force our family moved to Maine and settled here where our life revolves around family, friends, church and work.
I started working at the station in January of 2001. One of the great joys of my job is talking with, praying for, and connecting with our listeners and supporters. It has become like a big, extended family.
