Digital communication technology is making it possible to reach every man, woman, and child on the earth with the gospel by 2020.

RADIO: THE EARLY YEARS

It all started when Dad (Wayne Marcy), who helped start KHCB Houston, TX in the early 1960′s), gave me a job in radio, as an engineer’s apprentice for KBRZ-KLJT Freeport-Lake Jackson, TX, at age 16. Worked as DJ, Music Director, Program Director and Operations Manager…programming rock, pop and country stations throughout southwest Texas.

CHRISTIAN RADIO

Encouraged to consider Christian media, began my career in religious broadcasting as General Sales Manager at KGOL Houston, TX. Accepted my first General Manager position at KRDS Phoenix, AZ, one of the few full-time commercial CCM stations, at the time. Joined Salem Communications, and served for nearly twenty years as General Manager of ten stations, specializing in turnaround strategies and growth management. Managed Salem stations in Santa Barbara, CA, Oxnard-Ventura, CA, Boston, MA, Houston, TX and Louisville, KY.

In Louisville, our team earned recognition for building the most listened to Christian stations in Kentucky; helped develop and launch the nationally syndicated Albert Mohler Program;  published Louisville Now magazine; and our group of stations was selected by the company’s national program customers to receive the Salem Station of the Year National Ministry Award for five consecutive years.

Additional team honors, 2005 Focus on the Family Station of the Year (medium market); 2006 nominee for NRB Radio Station of the Year (Talk); and 2006 nominee for Marconi Religious Station of the Year.

BUILDING THE FUTURE

Inspired by a discussion in 1996 with the late Dr. E. Brandt Gustavson (former President of NRB) – and a passion to see Christian media retain its strength – started Capstone Alliance in early 2007.

Formed volunteer organization that builds teams of professionals to help nonprofits and other Christian organizations extend their reach and impact through use of communication technologies.

My desire for the future is to help Christian organizations achieve performance excellence, leverage technology, unite with others in partnership, and create positive outcomes for completing the Great Commission in our lifetime.
