Don started right there in 1989… yes, that is a long time ago.
What Don enjoys most about his work is invariably serving and glorifying the person in Jesus, first and foremost. After Him, it is the employees, from Todd, who started in 1992, to Budd, who started in early 2024, both special believers and servants. Couple them with stalwarts like Theresa, Crystal, Joel, Tamara, and Roger, and I can declare categorically that God has truly blessed us with a very strong, God-fearing, God-loving KBRTeam!

Throughout Levi’s life, radio and broadcasting have played a significant role in shaping his journey. Having grown up with a father who was a radio personality, he had the privilege of experiencing the industry firsthand. Witnessing the joy and passion his father found in the world of broadcasting, from the music to the work, inspired him to pursue a similar path.
Upon graduating from high school, he was appointed as a broadcaster for his Alma Mater, opening the door to numerous opportunities and ultimately leading him to his current position. He has since continued to thrive in sports broadcasting, working with various companies in California. Since 2021, Crawford Media Group has been his professional home.
As the Evening Host, Levi Flores is dedicated to bringing the audience God’s word and ensuring they stay Strong in the Word!
Toni Cashman joined Crawford Media Group in 2014. She was drawn to Crawford because of their mission to educate, motivate, and activate the body of Christ in California, leaving a legacy for many years to come.
When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and six sons, along with their three dogs and three cats. They enjoy as many outdoor activities as the weather permits. When the weather doesn’t cooperate, she enjoys reading books from all of the pastors on KBRITE.

Crystal has always been drawn to media since she can remember, her love for the media industry spans back to her childhood. That is why when attending university, she made sure her degree was in something she enjoyed, Communications (Advertising). Through her role at KCBC, Crystal gets the opportunity to express her creativity on Social Media and gets to meet new people every day.
Crystal grew up in the State of Georgia in a very small town. Crystal’s upbringing has helped her enjoy and excel in what she does here at Crawford Media Group. She carries her small hometown values with her and applies it to her craft. Above all, what drives Crystal to want to do things with excellence is her love for the Lord, she believes all that is done for the Lord should be done with excellence. Going the extra mile is what she deems as important. Crystal’s favorite bible verse is: Matthew 5:41, If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.
What drew Crystal to work for the Crawford Broadcasting Family was that it is deep rooted in God and Country Values. And… the fact that we air one of her favorite bible teachers, Dr. Charles Stanley.
Upon graduating from University, Crystal was seeking how to apply what she learned in school but for a position with a purpose. That’s when, after so much prayer, the Lord connected her with KCBC Radio. Crystal enjoys that she can do what she learned in school for a living and loves that it is all for expanding the Kingdom of God. Her position here at KCBC comes naturally to her since living out her Christian Faith, is her daily lifestyle.
