“Jen and I go way back,” Montez shared in a press release. “We actually worked together years ago at other radio stations. I feel very blessed to be on this new journey with her and saying what the Holy Spirit guides us to say to bring our listeners closer to Christ. I get to have the best of both worlds every day – my faith and radio!”

“The chemistry on the Jen and Damian team is infectious, said Valeri McMahon, marketing director for the radio station.

Montez, a native Omahan, attended the former St. Richard Catholic School in Omaha and is currently a member of St. Philip Neri-Blessed Sacrament Parish in Omaha.

He and his wife, Jas, have been married since 2006.
