Name: Dawn Madsen
Birth Year: 1982
I Am: Married to Tom
Children: Adeline-2, Maggie-7mo
Any Pets: No! A new baby is enough :)
Occupation: Air Talent, Marketing Director, Graphic Design guru and Special Event Team hostess at Spirit 92.9 (we all wear alot of hats around here!)
Church: River of Life in Cold Spring--If you are looking for a church home, River of Life is great, especially if you have kids, nursery through highschool!
We're involved with: Being parents! We decided to take a sabatical from extra-curicular activities with two little ones at home--that's our mission-field right now!
Where you would find us on a Satuday: Either working on our house (the endless remodel project!), hanging out down at my parent's farm in Northfield, or out in our yard landscaping when the weather is warm. Oh, or garaging saling with Diana and my mom :)
The ideal vacation: Ah! So many places we would LOVE to go...a roadtrip out west to see Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, a sunny vacation to Florida in the winter to hangout on the beach, or just a weekend trip up to the Northshore to do some camping and hiking.
TV Shows we follow: Flip that house and Property Ladder are probably our favorites...do you ever wonder if people on the show have actually EVER watched the show before? They seem to make always all make the same mistakes...we like to see new ideas and talk about if we could "do that" to our house???
Directly to my left: Maggie's exer-saucer...don't know how we would live without it! It amazes me how everytime I put her in it everything seems brand new even though she has looked at all of the bobbly characters a hundred times :)
Favorite Restaurant: I don't know that I have one favorite...if I could design my favorite place to eat it would have: Olive Garden Salad, Applebees Honey BBQ Boneless Wings, a Chipotle burrito, and a McDonalds Caramel Frape for dessert...wonder how many calories that would be...good thing that place doesn't exist :)
A question I'm often asked: How did you get into radio? Did you go to school for that? Nope. This shy girl never thought in a million years she'd end up in radio!!! I actually have a marketing degree from St. Thomas/Winona State/University of Phoenix online (why go to one college when you can go to three???) and moved up to St. Cloud to join Diana at the radio station 6 years ago ...I did comercial production and other behind the scenes stuff until I stumbled into the studio one day to read the news on the afternoon show. Eventually my role grew and we co-hosted the afternoon show before moving to the Morning Show a few years ago.
