Would you buy a used car from this man? 

That's good, because I don't sell used cars!

I grew up imitating '60s Top 40 jocks which had absolutely nothing to do with landing in radio. Since 1979 I've been working with businesses to develop effective marketing campaigns utilizing radio and other mediums. I'm a member of the founding staff of Mixx 96.1 and bring almost two decades of marketing and promotion experience in the Southwest Washington market to businesses.

In my spare time I enjoy playing with my wife Penny in the great Northwest outdoors as a skier, windsurfer, and mountain bike enthusiast. Email me at bb@mixx96.com.

I was destined to become an entertainer! Most of my business life was spent in Wichita, Kansas where I worked in retail and the advertising business and traveled with a country band known as the Wichita Linemen. In 1999, my wife Jeannie said it was time to move, as she had hated Wichita since she was 10 years old, and she wanted to be near mountains and trees. We moved to Olympia with our three children, and I promptly went to work for Mixx 96.1. I've also served on the Board of Directors of The Salvation Army, YMCA, The Rotary Club of Hawks Prairie, and the Olympia Master Builders Association, where I was The Associates Council VP and the Chair of The Big Home and Garden Show for several years. I've received the Service Above Self Award from Rotary, Volunteer of the Week Award from the Volunteer Center, twice been named Associate of the Year by the Olympia Master Builders Association, and am currently co-chair of Business Showcase for the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce, where I also serve as an Ambassador. My creative side is served by writing musical images for advertisers and performing regularly with the Evergreen Christian Community Choir and Orchestra, where just about every Sunday you can see me perform on my hot pink guitar. I believe that radio is the most powerful form of media available today! I only want what's best for my clients and believe heavily in "gravitational marketing." If you want to find out about it, do not hesitate to call me at Mixx 96.1, 360-943-9937 x133, and I'll tell you all about it.

Hi! I'm Don Wesel. I'm a radio rat! Not counting my B.A. in advertising from Brigham Young University, I've got 25+ years experience in advertising media. I've worked in all the major mass media except the web and they all work, but I settled on being a radio advertising consultant because whether you're a listener, an advertiser, or a potential advertiser, radio offers the "mostest for the leastest." If that's confusing, call me at 360-943-9937 ext. 124 or email me at donwesel@mixx96.com and I'll explain what I mean.

I'd really appreciate exploring advertising and marketing needs with you. A thorough, no-obligation analysis of your business will cost you nothing except a little time. If you decide that Mixx 96.1 is not a good investment for you, I'll make sure your time was a good investment by giving you an idea you can use.

By the way, I settled on Mixx 96.1 because I'd never seen a radio station that appealed to a broader age range or captured a market share as large. In fact, it was my kids who turned me on to Mixx 96.1! They were more excited about me getting this job than I was!

Don't get me wrong, as long as I have to work for a living, this is an awesome job, but I'd rather be hiking in the mountains, making footprints on the ocean shore, or anywhere in between with my wife and four children enjoying the amazing beauty of this earth God created for us. I'm actually more comfortable being among big rocks, big trees, or big water than among desks.

I grew up in Centralia but have lived in Seattle and Southern California. I love Olympia, however, because of its size and close proximity. I came back here to raise my children in a small town atmosphere. I now have three grown children who have spread far and wide across the country.

I started out as a "Loyal Listener" and heard that they were looking for an advertising executive. I applied for that position, and I guess my enthusiasm helped get me the job. I love the station and I know a lot of other people do too. I hear it everywhere I go! I have to believe in what I am selling and that's great because I know our listeners and advertisers do too!

I believe in helping businesses grow and be successful; it is the only way that I will feel successful. Let me help you grow your business with a radio plan that will let listeners know what you do! Email me at sdm@mixx96.com.

Hans Anderson – Tacoma/Puyallup Sales

I come to Mixx 96.1 from the Seattle radio market. After selling for over five years at some of the biggest radio stations in the area, I left to work for Mixx 96.1. With a radio station like Mixx my advertisers get the very best value possible for their advertising dollar. There isn’t always much credit given to the Tacoma/Puyallup/Olympia area in the advertising community. That seems funny to me since the fastest growing area in the state is the exact area which Mixx 96.1 serves.

Mixx 96.1 is a business owned and operated by some really neat people who understand and live the life and struggle of being a small business every day. So let me refer back to my experience in Seattle. At the BIG radio stations, you the advertiser are just one of the many advertisers on one of the BIG companies many radio stations. Working with me and the team at Mixx 96.1, you're part of our small family. We get things done fast and right. If your business is in South King or Pierce County call me any time. I would love nothing more than to schedule some time to meet with you in person.

FYI: I not only serve Tacoma/Puyallup, I live there too!

Hey! I'm Kasey Gregory. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and recently moved to the Evergreen State of Washington. While in California I studied broadcasting and worked in radio and TV. While working as a sales assistant for one station I soon realized that I actually wanted to be the sales person and help businesses grow with broadcast advertising. In my spare time I like to play with my dog Zeppelin and go out to new places around the area with my husband Jon.
