About Milton
I joined the KTSY family in 2019 with his my Denice and daughters Ariana and Madison. We came all the way from Massachusetts where I was working in youth ministry. I also serve as pastor of The Experience in Meridian. My mission is “Helping disconnected people find connection.”
I love telling the story of Jesus in new and fun ways. Every time I turn on the mic it’s another opportunity to talk about my amazing and loving God and to share how much joy and peace He brings to my life. The people that God has brought into my life because of KTSY have been such a blessing. First, the KTSY team that is hard-working and fun. Second, all the listeners that I have been able to meet who are so positive and welcoming. The KTSY family is the best!
- Favorite KTSY Artists: for KING & COUNTRY. They have such great music combined with deep emotional lyrics that make for a great listening experience. And their videos are so creative!
- Best Advice I’ve Been Given: Do what you have to do because no one else can do it.
- Fun Fact About Myself: My debut in broadcasting was at the age of 12 when I played the role of “student” in an episode of the Spanish religious program Ayer, Hoy, y Mañana.
