Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

On-Air Host (Weekday- -Morning/Afternoon ) Melissa Shriver-Hackamack
Melissa Hackamack wakes you up weekend mornings! Melissa grew up enjoying God’s beautiful creation as a farm girl near Ursa, IL. You can still find her toting buckets and gardening around the farm. She graduated from Unity High School and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Truman State University in Kirksville, MO.
Melissa married her high school sweetheart Adam and is a thankful mother of three children – Brinley, Brooklynn and Blake. Melissa and family attend the Quincy Church of Christ. When she isn’t on the radio waves, you’ll probably find her teaching children’s Bible classes (a passion of hers), gardening or swimming when it isn’t freezing cold.
You probably recognize Melissa from her years reporting for KHQA-TV. She and her husband decided to make a change a few years ago. Now she enjoys time watching her children grow up at home. Melissa also volunteers at school and as a director for the Adams County Fair.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.

He has worked as a musician in the surrounding playing locally every week in a variety of settings.

On-Air Host (Overnights) Kevin Bradford
Kevin is a native of The Hawkeye State. He was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. He attended Des Moines East High School while working in the projection booth at the local movie theater and earning his pilot certificate. Kevin finished his aviation education and began serving with various praise and worship bands in Dubuque, Iowa while attending the University of Dubuque. After graduation, he became a flight instructor and taught aviation at his alma mater for 8 years. Even after more than 20 years of flying airplanes, he still enjoys taking to the skies and enjoying a unique perspective of God's creation. When Kevin is not on the radio with WGCA, he is working as a professional pilot for a local business.
It was in Dubuque that he met his wife, Anna. Together, they have 2 busy boys, Noah and Zachary. They have called Quincy, IL “home” since 2016. They currently attend Madison Park Christian Church where they are actively involved in the music ministry. When they are not making music at church, they are usually listening to music at home, playing games, reading books, watching a rocket launch, or anxiously awaiting their next chance to take in live music at a concert.
The Bradford family encourages you to remember Romans 12:12. While God may not always answer our prayers in a way that we expect, he does answer them. Patience, hope, and prayer show that we trust God in all situations we face
in life.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:35
ON-AIR HOST (WEEKDAY OVERNIGHTS) SHAWNA BUNNELL
Shawna grew up on a farm in Hancock County surrounded by a loving family and church community. Her love of worship music started early, with countless childhood memories standing next to the piano bench (when she was barely able to reach the keys!) as her mom practiced and played.
Other than God, and her family, Shawna’s greatest passion is Chaddock where she has worked for 11 years. She loves her kids and her job and tells everyone she can about God’s work being done through their ministry. She answered the call to preach in 2019, officially becoming a Pastor of the United Methodist Church through the St Paul School of Theology. Today, she travels across the region sharing
Biblically-based and Chaddock-inspired messages. “I am so blessed. God created the perfect job for me. I get to preach every weekend, and still remain with my Chaddock kids and family. I could not ask for more, and yet, He gave me the opportunity to serve at The Mix, as well. My prayer is to be a blessing and I am grateful for all the ways God allows me to be that.”
When she is not working you will find Shawna spending time with her family, praying with her prayer group, shopping, watching football, or listening to her favorite podcast, and always enjoying her favorite peach melba water…It’s so good!
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Chief Engineer Michael DeLaRosa
Michael (not Mike, please). I am originally from Chicago, but I have called this area my home since 1999 (and an actual Quincy resident for 3 of those years). One of my favorite activities is to attend the Blues In The District concerts at Washington Park. There is nothing like a warm summer breeze, the sun setting at your back, and live music in front of you.
I LOVE radio. I always have. That is why you might hear me broadcasting on other stations in the area. I also work for WGCA as their Chief Engineer. My duties on WGCA include maintaining and repairing equipment, and keeping 88.5 The Mix! on the air. As long as you are able to listen to WGCA on the radio, then I have done my job.
IT/Digital Media Manager Russ Smith
Russ has been the IT Manager at WGCA since 2007 and added the responsibilities of our digital media in 2012. He wears a lot of hats around here: computer and network support, website development, graphic art, social media, and the mobile app! If it has something to do with our computers, he’s had his hand in it. He’s even coordinated two of our outdoor music events (2007 Battle of the Bands and MixFest 2013). You’ll see him getting pictures at our local concerts for use on the web, as well.
He has been happily married to his wife Kimberly since 1992. They are blessed with three children and are proud grandparents.
In addition to his work with WGCA he is also employed at Knapheide Manufacturing with their IT Department and runs his own digital marketing business out of his home. When he isn’t working on computers and websites he spends his time with his family and studying God’s Word.
He also serves the Kingdom as a board member for Ten From The Nations, a ministry dedicated to repairing the relationship between Christians and Jews. He enjoys sharing about his Messianic Jewish faith, helping people to connect with the ancient roots of our faith.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
