KKFI welcomes JC for the energy, creativity, entrepreneurship, strategy development and implementation skills he brings to organizations that he was worked with. His experience co-authoring the Climate Protection Program and seeing it adopted with agreements between Kansas City, Missouri, the KC Chamber of Commerce, and political opposition will help KKFI maintain its strong community connections.

JC mentioned he “co-created an educational program, Sustainable Business Leaders Series, which teaches businesspeople to create sustainable environmental strategies for their companies.”

JC is self-employed, works with Shockey Consulting Services, and teaches courses at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas. He attended the University of Kansas.

Art is host of the Morning Buzz show on Thursday mornings from 6:00 to 8:00 am. Art chose “to volunteer at KKFI because it’s the last REAL radio station left in our CITY! We still allow our programmers to program their own shows! No corporate playlists to adhere to, no commercials to clutter our airwaves!”

He graduated from Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park, Kansas and  attended Johnson County Community College and the University of Kansas.
