WHERE THE
MUSIC MATTERS!
Hey guys. This here is Amber Dean. She is a mom of 3 children. Now when most kids were out partying and drinking she was married and home with her children.
Life became quite hectic when she was 24 years old. She decided to end her marriage of 6 years. Amber went on to single parenthood not caring much about fitness or exercise.
When she met Chris in 2012 she saw fitness as his passion. Amber realized that fitness was actually something people did because they enjoy it. She finally gave it a go with workout DVD's and has now lost 86 pounds total. Her transformation surprised even herself and she wanted to pay it forward and help others. She became a Beachbody Coach and has since been motivating and inspiring others every day to work on their health and fitness goals.
Chris convinced her to try pod-casting with him to have an outlet to tell her story. She had zero radio experience and to this day is still learning the ins and outs but she has been welcomed into the radio world with open arms and she is grateful for the opportunity.
Chris as a kid has always wanted to do something in broadcasting. Well, not sure what when or how was known at the time. Chris started out by sitting in his room and pretending to be “on air”.
He was brought up on all kinds of music from Elvis, to Def Leppard and then Garth. So having a music background always helps. Listening to morning radio has been an interest to him. From Portland’s Z100 morning crew to his two favorites, Mark & Brian from L.A.
Chris moved to Bend, Or in 1997 aired on 100.7 KICE doing the overnights. When they went “Automated” he moved over to KSJJ also in Bend, Or. and worked the weekend afternoon shift. He then decided to move to a full time gig on A.M. radio in Sweet Home, Or.
Chris has also worked in T.V. broadcasting @ FOX affiliate KFXO as well as KTVZ a NBC affiliate for 13 years. Chris and his wife, Amber both decided to do a podcast together on 474theMiX radio. On August of 2014 The Chris & Amber Podcast was born.
