Consultant ~ Third Millennium Media

Doug Pearson works for Guadalupe Radio Network and is a consultant for Third Millennium Media.

I am a convert to Catholicism and the father of seven children… and the Grandfather of one so far. I went into the Marine Corps as a kid and learned how to work in Radio Electronics- among other things. I spent 10 years in the Corps, got out and went to work for Cellular One as a technician. I wanted to make more money so I got into the sales and management side of the Cell Phone business. I did well but was not content… little did I know that my wife and kids were praying for good old dad.

Born and raised in Long Beach, California, she and her husband and their seven children now reside in Daphne, Alabama. Prior to coming onboard with TMM, Christy was Project Director for Archangel Radio where she was instrumental in implementing all aspects of building a Catholic radio apostolate from the ground up.

Before her involvement in Catholic radio Christy homeschooled her children for nine years, giving thanks to God for the opportunity to grow in the virtues during those days...and still growing.

Christy comments, "Not having had any formal education beyond my high school years, I'm living proof that with a zeal and passion to serve Christ, God can call you to do great things like educate children or work in Catholic radio. We serve a great God!"
