Gunner grew up in Chicago and left at age 20 to travel the country and work on-air. He's lived all over the place and is now happy to be planted and staying put. When he's not waking up early and hanging out with Gwen on the Lonestar 92.3 Morning Show and playing your favorite country songs, you'll find him in the office working behind the scenes... He is also Brand Manager for Lonestar 92.3 and our sister station, 99.9 KBAT, as well as Director of Content for all of our stations in Midland-Odessa. He's excited to be here and he and his wife Vicki are looking forward to exploring West Texas and taking it all in... playing mini golf, going to movies, or grilling on the patio with the radio on.

Does Anybody Read Bedtime Stories To The Kids Anymore?
Dolly Parton does it on Facebook Live. And so does a Grandma in Iowa. They read bedtime stories to anyone who will follow and watch. But do you do it at home anymore? Not only has family time dwindled at the dinner table--with kids nowadays taking their plates to their rooms and spending the evening…

When Is It OK To Lie? Or Is It Ever?
BIG Debate on the morning show this morning as to whether or not it's EVER ok to lie... Of course the whole male/female dynamic was brought up like being asked if your butt looks too big in a dress or pair of jeans... Simple small things like that Gwen called "Fibs", saying there was …
Loud Neighbors Keeping You Awake?
Doesn't matter if you live in an apartment complex, a house, a duplex--wherever... Noisy neighbors are the worst. Especially when you can't escape the racket. When I lived in an apartment on the 3rd floor--there was a Preacher who lived in the apartment below me. Of course hosting mornings…
Relationships Take Work And Effort
One of our favorite topics on the morning show is relationships and dating. Gwen is sure that romance and the idea of putting effort and energy into dating is completely lost on the younger generation--as men these days don't do ANY of the things we did when we were that age and trying to woo o…
Garth Brooks And Holly Dunn Have A Duet?!
It's easily one of THE most embarrassing moments in my radio career. My excuse? I was a newbie. I started in radio in 1989 in Peoria, IL. And the station I was working for had Diamond Rio play our local arena--The Peoria Civic Center--in one of their convention halls we turned into a honky tonk…

The Day The Kissing Bandit Got Trisha Yearwood
The Year was 1991. The Illinois State Fair, Springfield IL. Garth Brooks was the headliner (and at that time, married to Sandy). Trisha Yearwood was new on the scene and was Garth's opening act. Her only radio hit was "She's In Love With The Boy" off her debut album "Trisha …
What Car Did You Pass Your Driver’s Test In?
Back then-your own wheels meant freedom. Because we didn't have cell phones and we weren't endlessly connected to the world--so getting behind the wheel was a true one of a kind experience back then and it was just you, the open road and the radio. You never forget your first car or the ca…
Could We Actually See A 4 Day Work Week?
The push for a better quality of life is certainly something companies worldwide are going to have to pay attention to. With time being the biggest and most valued commodity nowadays-and demands on our time at an all time high--something needs to give. If you're one of those who thinks this is …
