She worked in areas of personnel, promotions, sales, marketing, and production. She also served as co-host, guest host, and talent for the station. However, it was her emphasis in programming, governmental affairs, FCC regulations compliance, and her ability to manage people and projects that led to her being named General Operations Manager. This promotion placed her at the helm of both the commercial and non-commercial activities of the station. She produced and executive produced more than a dozen programs including a live nightly two-hour broadcast during her 11+ years with FCB. During her tenure there she was responsible for managerial and programming responsibilities of three broadcast stations and served as Executive Producer for in-house productions.

Her experience includes management, HR, corporate law assistance, FCC compliance, on-air talent, and fundraising. Since childhood, Debra has been part of church and para church communities and understands the value of living out faith with the support of other believers. She spent many years as Drama Director for a Bay Area church, Children’s Program Director, keyboardist and board member. Her career choices have greatly been influenced by a desire to help people live total healthy lives. Debra is married to her high school sweetheart, Jack. Together they have two daughters, Kristen and Brooke, who they consider to be their greatest achievements and most cherished friends. Debra thrives in the close relationships she has with Jack and their two daughters.
