Our journey in sports broadcasting
Discover the passion and dedication that drives River to Ridge Sports. We're more than just a radio station; we're a voice for our community and a platform for local athletes.
From a hobby to a dedicated sports platform
River to Ridge Sports began as a passion project, a "fun thing to do" for someone with 34 years of experience in radio. Having worked full and part-time at broadcast stations since 1992 our founder wanted a dedicated space to focus on sports and our local communities. This is what makes us special—our deep roots in radio combined with a singular focus on what matters most to to our communities.
Uniting Central and North Central Washington Communities through sports
Our primary goal at River to Ridge Sports is to connect with a community that shares our enthusiasm for local sports and fiercely supports our incredible student athletes. We believe in the power of sports to bring people together, celebrate achievements, and build lasting memories within our communities.
The inspiration and pillars of River to Ridge Sports
The foundation of River to Ridge Sports was profoundly influenced by my mentor, Jim Skinner. In my opinion, Jim is the greatest sports play-by-play announcer to ever don a set of headphones. His unwavering encouragement has always pushed me to keep moving forward and aim higher. Equally vital is my wife, Rebecka, who is consistently by my side, supporting and encouraging everything I do.
"Jim Skinner has truly inspired me to reach new heights in sports broadcasting."
