Phil Ehlke

I began my radio career in 1980 in Thief River Falls, working in both on-air broadcasting and advertising sales. After stops in Fosston and Grand Forks, I committed my life to Christ in 1986 and felt called to help establish a Christian radio ministry in our region.

In 1987, my family returned to Fosston, and in 1992 Pine to Prairie Broadcasting was formed. The station, then known as Q107, officially launched on November 1, 1993, with a mission to share the hope of Christ throughout northern Minnesota and eastern North Dakota.

Over the years, God has faithfully grown the ministry through new communities, additional translators, the Bemidji office, the Grand Forks studio, the transition to Your QFM, and an incredible team of staff, listeners, and supporters.

Today, I continue to help oversee the ministry while traveling between our locations with my wife. We remain grateful for the opportunity to see God use Christian radio to impact lives across the region.

Josh Jones

I’m a lifelong Grand Forks resident, having grown up in the Lincoln Park neighborhood before the 1997 flood. From a young age, music was a major part of my life, and I dreamed of becoming both a professional archer and a professional guitarist—music ended up winning out.

I gave my life to Jesus in 1998, and my faith has guided every chapter since. My wife, Yvonne, and I were blessed with our son Nicholas, who went home to be with the Lord in 2013.

Outside of radio, I enjoy sports, fishing, hunting, teaching guitar, and leading worship at Hope Church in Grand Forks. If you visit on a Sunday, you might spot the big guy with the shiny head playing guitar on the worship team.

Philip loves welcoming all our listeners who come through the door of our Bemidji office. It’s a privilege to have such a supportive community keeping the spirit of radio alive and well, and Philip is grateful to have been part of the QFM Family for practically his entire life. Always a student of media and culture, he has experienced the thrills of living in a big city but appreciates the serenity of the small town. It is here where God’s voice can be heard most clearly, and there’s perhaps no place more beautiful or welcoming than right here in Q Land.

Vickie Meyer

I’m originally from North Dakota, but I’ve called Bemidji home for the past 14 years. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in customer service, retail, sales, financial institutions, and now Your QFM.

Music has always been a part of my life. I grew up singing with my dad and sisters, and becoming a radio DJ was always my dream. Today, I’m grateful to be living that dream.

My greatest joys are my husband, Curt, and our two children, Aaron and Britney. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, attending concerts and festivals, and traveling whenever I can. My husband and I share a love for exploring new places and have passed that passion on to our children as well.

Rick McConnell

I became a follower of Jesus during my senior year of high school after a friend shared the message of Christ with me. Through her encouragement and the impact of Christian music, I came to understand God’s love and accepted Jesus as my Savior.

I began my career in Christian radio in 1978, shortly after graduating high school, and have served in a variety of radio roles across Colorado, Texas, and other markets. In addition to broadcasting, I own a voiceover company that provides services for hundreds of Christian radio stations across the United States, Canada, and even internationally.

Today, I’m blessed to share life with my wife, Lisa, and our two children, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue using radio to encourage and share the hope of Christ.
