RYAN JOHNSTON, MORNING HOST I was born and raised in Grafton. I started working at KXPO in March of 1999 and worked part time until 2004 when I was offered a full time midday (9:00 AM to 1:00 PM) air shift. Later I moved to the morning shift which I currently fill. I met my wife here at the radio station & we reside in Grafton. I spend my spare time writing & recording music and working on home improvement projects.

NEWS DIRECTOR Scott Karnik is from this area. He's a native of Veseleyville, North Dakota. Since it's not on the map, the directions are northwest of Minto, southwest of Grafton, and east/northeast of Pisek. Karnik is a Minto High School and University of North Dakota graduate. He has one brother and sister and enjoys cooking, gardening, and reading.

Heather Szklarski - Weekdays 11A-4P
Hi I'm Heather Szklarski! I was born and raised in Grafton, ND. During high school, I worked here at KXPO, part time. It's fun to be back! My husband and I lived in Bozeman, MT for 8 years before returning to North Dakota. We were very lucky to work and play in the beautiful Rocky Mountains! When I'm not at KXPO, I enjoy listening to many different kinds of music, reading, all matter of art and crafts, yoga, gardening and tending our small flock of chickens. I am passionate about supporting our local community, especially in wellness matters and local food.
