Gregg Goodman
I have been in radio for 11 years. I have been in Christian radio for the past three years.
Greg has spent fully half of his life in radio, working in various formats before finding the music. Greg delights in making others laugh. An admitted Diet Coke addict, he drinks two cans in a normal broadcast. His other admitted weakness is buttered popcorn. Greg likes to read in his spare time. A newlywed, he is enjoying life with his wife, Debbie, their dog Buddy and cat, Josie. I became a Christian when I was 8 years old. It is great to be able to combine my beliefs and career. My favorite thing in the world is to laugh and hear others laughing. So, If you listen to me, don’t be surprised if I try to get a giggle out of you. I am a Diet Coke® addict!

As Operations Manager, he continues to oversee much of the production, as well as his on-air duties.

Vance Dillard
Vance is the Program Director for the Today's Christian Music network and the Word in Praise network, along with WFFH-FM/WFFI-FM broadcast properties, all operated by the Nashville-based Salem Music Network. Salem Music Network General Manager, Michael Miller commented, "Vance has a very impressive track record of successfully programming major market, adult contemporary radio stations, combined with an intimate knowledge of the Nashville market and a passion for Christian music. His mature leadership and demonstrated ability to grow highly rated radio stations makes him a perfect fit for our Nashville-based music programming operations." Dillard spent most of the 1970s working for full service adult AM stations, then the 1980s as program director for a top-rated station in Tampa. In 1988 he went to work for Jacor (now part of Clear Channel) and stayed with the company for 12 years. He spent one year of that time as WLW-Cincinnati operations manager and the rest of the time as program director of Atlanta's adult contemporary station, Peach-FM. Additionally, he served as the corporate adult contemporary brand manager, having programming oversight over scores of Clear Channel adult contemporary stations outside of Atlanta. Most recently, Dillard enjoyed a similar position with South Central Communications, owners of several adult contemporary formatted stations, including top-rated Mix 92.9 in Nashville.

Kim Bindel joined MIRACLE 89.1 FM recently. Some of her other radio work includes KWLD in Plainview, TX, KSLT in Rapid City, SD and Free 107 in Lubbock, TX. Kim is originally from Santa Fe, NM and was a fan of Contemporary Christian music at an early age. Kim earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Wayland Baptist University. In her early teens, Christian music was hard to find. She stumbled across a radio station that played music from Second Chapter of Acts, Petra, Sweet Comfort Band, etc. The first thing she ever won was a cassette from that station. Kim says, “Countless times songs were played that I needed to hear. I think many listeners can relate to that effect Christian radio has on their own lives.” Her favorite movie is 'It's a Wonderful Life.' Her favorite scripture is Proverbs 3:5-6, and her favorite people are her daughters, Lauren and Alexia
