Steve and his wife, Sally began operating WPRZ in 1982 as an AM radio station. 40 years later his love for the Lord and his listeners still shines through in his voice. The bluegrass music reminds him of his roots in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest Virginia where he grew up.

Carrie started as our Administrative Assistant in 1996 and worked in that position for five years. She stepped down to become a wife to a wonderful husband and mom to three kids but has often volunteered over the years in many capacities as time allowed. Carrie lives in Amissville with her husband and three kids, one dog, two lizards, eighteen chickens, and a pig named Harold. In her free time, she enjoys gardening and oil painting.

Elaine grew up in a bluegrass gospel family and has been involved in numerous musical projects.  She’s the worship leader at Family Worship Center in Bealeton and The Gathering Place.  As a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, she is actively involved in her grandchildren’s education, teaching music at their homeschool co-op.

Pete McCory is glad to be back at WPRZ after a long hiatus.  He helped Sally start the station back in 1981 and was the station’s first announcer, chief engineer, and operations manager.  Pete’s radio experience goes back a long way. He and Sally were co-workers at WEEL in Fairfax before Pete went on to KIX 106 in the DC area.  For a couple of years, Pete recorded contemporary Christian music shows in his home studio for Sally to air on WPRZ (before the station even had a studio!), then moved to Warrenton to help build the ministry.  Since 1996 he’s been known as the One-Man-Band for kids, performing musical shows at schools and childcare centers. Pete’s love of all forms of music, in particular folk and traditional music, brought him back to WPRZ to lend a hand with the bluegrass programming.  Serving the Lord through radio and music has always been close to his heart.

Listeners love his friendly voice and encouraging words. Jeff and his wife, Theresa are well known in our local community.  Jeff has served as Pastor of Novum Baptist Church in Reva since 2002 and joined the WPRZ family in 2011.  You can listen to his church sermons on WPRZ Sundays from 11:00am to noon.
