On-Air Host (Weekend Mornings) 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.

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, a son-in-law, and two granddaughters.

He also serves the Kingdom as the Events and Marketing Director for Love & Purity Ministry, which is dedicated to equipping believers in Messiah to lead a life dedicated to purity and the love of God. 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?
