Heather Kitchens:  

Life Let's start with after High School. A month after I graduated from high school we had a fire in our family home. It was arson. Our family went through a lot that next year trying to re-build our lives. We are truly thankful that none of us were home when it happened. Things can be replaced...people can't. After that major event in my life...I went to college close to home, Clayton State, so I could be close to home and help out during the re-build. I left for a semester and went back to college and graduated shortly after my son, Joseph was born. God truly has blessed me with this child. I went back to school to other colleges to further my broadcasting career. I can't believe that I have been in the media/entertainment field in some form or fashion for 20 years now. Everything from an evening soap opera, to calling races on cable TV, to getting up at 3 a.m. to trek in and host an FM morning radio show. I was the Production Director for 3 stations while at ClearChannel Radio(I don't ever advise trying that one.) -while hosting a show for Magic 98-1. It was an honor to host a special for NBC in the Winter of 2006 on the "Explorations In Antiquity Center",(A life-size replica of Jerusalem and Bethlehem located in LaGrange, GA), and much to my surprise I was nominated for an EMMY under the category of "Host of a documentary". I never expected to be nominated by the commitee. So that in itself was quite amazing. I actually thought my producer was playing a practical joke on me when she called to tell me the good news...total disbelief...til I got to "the party". My executive producer (and very good friend) on that project and I are still working on more projects. I was on-air with J93.3 for a while and due to gas prices and a rather lengthy commute I decided it was time to work from home. Unlike many people in the radio profession, I actually use my real first and middle name on air...not my choice. When I worked on a morning show about 6 years ago, the GM said, "Hmmmm what are we going to call you?? How about let's use your real name." Well, it stuck. It's also a joy to work with performing artists as I have a side business as a Professional voice coach. Singing and writing songs is such a stress reliever for me..it's my passion and allows me to pour out my emotions through my music. My coaching career allows me to work with some pretty amazing recording artists. I'm so not worthy. God is so amazing. If anyone asks me...they'll find out quickly that my true passion is being a wife and mother. Spending each day with my best friend (hubby Frank) and my kids is awesome. Joseph is growing up way too fast though (That Coun...Expand for more
