 Meet Johnny

Playing great music from the 60’s and 70’s was the only thing that could lure Johnny Kincaid back to the airwaves after a 12 year break from radio and he’s enjoying every minute of it.

Kincaid grew up listening to top-40 radio in the Pacific Northwest and applied for his radio license before receiving his driver’s permit. By the time he graduated high school he had moved from weekends to full-time night disc jockey on his hometown AM Top 40 station.

In 1984 he was hired to do mornings on WKDQ (before the station became the country music giant it is today) and decided that Evansville was a great place to live.

Now, in addition to what he calls his “on-air therapy sessions,” he works as a tobacco prevention specialist at Smokefree Communities. Johnny also loves to spend time with his wife, Jill, and volunteers in prison ministry.

 Johnny's Interests

General: Prayer is a biggie with me. I even started a website called Pray4Evansville.com and I'm using the site to bring prayer groups together.  After my relationship with the Lord comes my family and friends. I also enjoy all things electronic (but don't call me a geek). I'm also involved in prison ministry and will lead a team of 55 men on a 3 day missions trip inside Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on Labor Day weekend.

Music: Obviously, I'm very passionate about the Superhits. I've always enjoyed the Beatles, Motown, and beach music.

Television: I've given up on the broadcast networks and watch Food Network and Discovery a lot instead. On Friday nights, I'm parked in front of the TV to watch Monk and Psych.

Movies: We don't get to the theater as much as I'd like to. In fact I missed every movie that I wanted to see this summer. All time favorite movies include Field of Dreams and Fried Green Tomatoes.

Today was weigh in day and I'm so thrilled. My total weight loss is now 50 pounds!
I haven't been at this weight in over 15 years! In fact, I remember the last time I weighed what I weighed today was when I went sky diving.
My step-daughter, Vesteen, had just turned 18 and she wanted to celebrate by jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and I offered to join her. We went to Carmi for a day of jump school and one of the first questions was, "How much do you weigh?" The weight limit was 250 pounds, so I lied.
Actually, I weighed about 260 at the time, but I thought that another 10 pounds wouldn't make any difference.
The jumpsuit was very tight and since I was the biggest guy on the plane, I got to jump first. What an insane thing to do, but it's a great memory.
The best part of it was that I could share the adventure with Vesteen.
