Name: Craig Stevens
Show/Shift: Morning Show, 6-9 am / Program Director
Hometown: Owatonna, MN
I left Owatonna in 1986 and worked in Des Moines, IA as an afternoon DJ for seven years on 92.5 KJJY. Then I made the trip to West Palm Beach, FL as a morning DJ for a Top 40 station for some time. In 1998, I started working at 104.1 The Point in Minneapolis and picked up some traffic reporting duties as well for a number of Twin Cities stations. In 2009, I started at KOWZ 100.9 and it feels good to be back in Owatonna. I went full circle!
College/High School: Owatonna High School.and Brown Institute in Minneapolis for Radio and TV Broadcasting.
Married or Single: Married to my wonderful wife, Misty.
Kids: One boy..his name is Owen and he is 2 1/2 ...ahhh, the terrible twos! Ya gotta love them!
Pets: Cat...Cassidy...She LOVES drinking out of the water faucet...Drives me crazy when I am trying to brush my teeth!
Favorite sports team: Well, Vikings..Hello! I DO live in MN. I feel sorry for people who live in Minnesota and love the Green Bay packers....it makes no sense to me. I also follow the MN Twins, especially now that Joe Mauer will be growing old with the team.
Biggest pet peeve: When I drive up on somebody driving slow in the fast lane on the Interstate....I just cringe...move over! Continue your cell phone call over on the right side.....or better yet...get off the phone and turn up KOWZ 100.9!
Person you would most like to meet: Jennifer Aniston. Does she count? Also it would be cool to meet Elton John. I would love to meet my Grandma Mary again for some tea....she passed away many years ago...
Best concert you've ever been to: I really loved seeing Paul McCartney at the Xcel Energy Center. Coldplay - when they were an upcoming band playing First Avenue in Minneapolis. The Foo Fighters also put on a great show. And seeing Neil Diamond live was pretty cool too!
What else?: Thanks for listening to KOWZ 100.9 and if you ever want to hear something while your at work, please give me a call at 507-451-2222

Also, Aaron Rodgers is the best QB in the World... Enough said!

Best concert you've ever been to: Kenny Chesney in 2006 at the X. It was right before he turned all weird. Sugarland also rocked it that night. It was my first concert and it will be tough to beat.
