I have lived in, and loved Louisville for over 50 years. I am constantly amazed by the many local people who want to give service to others, such as Michael Crask and the people with CCFF. After retiring from a long Sales career a few years back, I have volunteered with various charities such as No-Kill Louisville and COLORS. My Hobbies include Singing Classic Rock, Blues, Country, Playing Guitar and tending to my SEVEN pets! Married for 32 years to a wonderful woman, Lisa Newton Hoyer I am very excited about what CCF accomplished in a very challenging 2020 and looking forward to great things in 2021 and beyond!

Dwight Witten

George Timmering
Since he was 7 years old there was only one thing Dwight wanted to do, and that was broadcast Radio. Dwight has been on air in the Louisville Market for 25 years and has LOVED every second of it and it shows. Dwight not only connects with his listeners on air through radio but also through his social media with a very interactive following with his Facebook post and videos. Dwight is married with no children but does have a shelter rescue Dog ( Lemmy) that gets spoiled rotten. Dwights on air persona is an unfiltered good old boy from Dixie Highway on the Southside of Louisville with a colorful bourbon-and-cigarettes tone.With friends on both ends of the spectrum including reformed inmates, from the Kentucky Penitentiary, homeless men and women to senators and political figures on local, state and federal levels. However, when they appear as a guest on his show, everyone is just a regular person sitting down to have a chat at the bar.
