Dina Michaels | 101.9 The Wolf

How it all started (radio) – 1998 in Columbia Mo after graduating from Mizzou. My first gig was as a night time request and dedication dj.

My favorite local hobby – Thrifting and antiquing!

My favorite local event – Old Capitol Farmer’s Markets

My family – My husband and two boys live in Springfield with our adorable rescue mutt Roxy

Where I came from – I grew up in St.Louis and lived in Columbia Mo and Rockford Il before moving to Springfield

My hidden talent or claim to fame – I can juggle. Not with fire yet…I’m working on it.
