The STAR Morning Show with Skip & Kristen

Mornings with Skip and Kristen on STAR 101.5 are just what you need to start your day off right! Uplifting music, lots of laughs and positive conversation!

About Skip:
I am thrilled to be back here in The Mile High City. There’s an incredible ‘realness’ to the people who call Denver home: a genuine fondness for each other, the outdoors and sports. We REALLY love our sports!

I’ve followed the Aves since the days of Patrick Roy, love football, and have an unhealthy obsession with baseball, specifically my beloved California Angels!

I spent seven years as half of the “Skip and Amy Show” in Contemporary Christian Music, but before that, my career was in Country radio waking up cities like Dallas, Tampa, San Diego, Los Angeles, and more – I am a bit of a morning person!

I love movies, traveling, and community. I have this mantra – “dogs, kids, and those who serve” and work with organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project, The SPCA, and the FBI to bring awareness and enact change. I’m proud to have helped establish an organization called “Skip’s Kids” that sends hundreds of kids on adventures of all kinds.

My wife (of over forty years!!!) and I have three adult children. The kids are safely out of the house, but my wife and I live with our two cats and I’m convinced that the cats are quietly planning my demise.

About Kristen:
I was born and raised in Jersey! Which means I successfully avoiding pumping my own gas until I was 33!!!!!

God blessed me with a great family! My mom taught me to be encouraging and always find the silver lining. My dad taught me to work hard and get the job done right. My sister taught me to chill out and stop being so high strung and my brother taught me that if I have to laugh at my own jokes, they're probably not that funny.

In November of 2018, I married my Army man, Mike! We "dated" when we were 14, which really meant we talked on the phone and went to the movies with my parents. Years and years later, we reconnected while he was deployed in Iraq. When he came back, he met my dog, Wesley. Wesley gave me the nod of approval and the rest is history!

Speaking of Wesley, he's an Australian Shepherd and God handpicked him for me. He loves long hikes, chasing the hose and stealing apples out of my bag. We knew something was missing and that's when we found Bentley! He's a cocker spaniel mix that came from a high kill shelter in Georgia! We just love him to pieces!

In April of 2022, we welcomed our sweet son, Noah, into the world! He has brought more joy than we thought was possible to feel and I'm so thankful to have you along for this journey as I learn how to be a parent!

I’m always going to keep it real with you, so please keep it real with me! Let's connect! I'm excited to hear what God is up to in your life!
