Get to know Kimberly

I began college as an Aeronautical Science major and received my pilot's license. But while studying for my Business Management minor, I discovered Accounting. After graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management, I started working for a bookkeeping firm. I began as a Bookkeeping Assistant, and quickly worked my way up to the Chief of Operations. It was then that I realized that we needed to have a tax professional to work with who cared about our clients the way that I did.

I immediately began studying to obtain my Enrolled Agent status, and my Masters in Accountancy. Now, I work with my clients to fulfill all of their bookkeeping and accounting needs in one convenient location.

This week we are interviewing Melanie Maynor of Aging Gracefully

Get to know Melanie:

Aging Gracefully beautifully marries my education and passions. Geriatric care management is an individualized and personalized service. I collaborate with you to tailor services to the circumstances and needs of your family. I love spending time with families and individuals and really knowing their stories. I enjoy collaborating and advocating with others including doctors, nurses, home health agencies, caregivers, etc. With years of experience, I have knowledge of competent geriatric medical professionals and facilities in the St. Louis area. I am a willing and capable advocate for clients and families because of my passion for them and my professional experience.

Aging often refocuses our attention from activity and busyness to self-reflection and relational healing. It is my privilege to assist families to finish well during the twilight years of the older generation. My desire is to free families from daily care management tasks so they are able to relate as son, daughter, husband, wife, friend, etc. It is my pleasure to take care of the details of life and navigate systems so that your time as a family can be spent enjoying one another.

Often, I am contacted by families at a point of crisis. You may be facing difficult medical dilemmas and significant transitions. My skills, resources and experience help you deal with a crisis and plan for the future. I provide a road map and guide you through transitions. You are likely here because you are overwhelmed. My work reflects my love for another generation and is my legacy to my loving grandparents and I look forward to coming alongside your family.

This week we are interviewing Ellie Wharton of Radio63119

Get to know Ellie

Ellie is a 30-year veteran in the Broadcasting industry, having worked for ABC- NBC- and CBS- owned television stations in San Francisco, CA, St. Louis, MO and Birmingham, AL. In the St. Louis market she worked for KMOV-TV, KEZK, KYKY and KSD radio stations. A graduate of Webster Groves High School, she entered Washington University in St. Louis immediately following high school, then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where she earned an Associates degree in Journalism from Laney College in Oakland, CA and the equivalent of a Bachelors degree in Broadcast Communications from San Francisco State University in San Francisco, CA. At Laney College she created the first campus radio station for that institution.

Ellie’s personal motivation is tied to service. A member of Agape SDA Church, she serves on the weekly nursing home ministry team. This 5-year ministry has resulted in three souls being baptized, two have gotten married, and scores have received the message of God’s unending mercy and His precious gift of salvation.

Ellie is a Rotarian, a board member on the Webster Groves Chamber of Commerce, the Webster Groves Historical Society, and Webster Arts, along with being named Citizen of the Year in Webster Groves for 2017.

Despite her professional and civic accomplishments, her most fulfilling time was spent, along with her late husband, Keith, as a missionary in Belize and Panama, where she worked with Christian radio stations producing programming and working as an on-air talent. Upon returning to the United States, the couple’s strong spiritual beliefs prompted them to build a local medium that would allow access to dynamic spiritual, educational, cultural, lifestyle and civic messages. Thus, KWRH-LP Radio 63119 became the newest FM radio station in this region, built from the ground up with 100% donations. The station went live on December 29, 2017 and airs over 30 original programs weekly.
