About Brian Sumner
I was born and raised in Beckley, West Virginia. A few memories I have are going to church every Sunday and listening to the radio every morning! I met my beautiful bride Lorren in a junior high choir class. We became good friends and remain best friends to this day. We were married in 1988.
My Christian radio journey started in my hometown's top 40 station. Sunday nights I hosted a Contemporary Christian Show. It was during this time that I started praying about getting into Christian radio full-time and God answered that prayer in 2000. After moving around a bit, I came to HIS Radio in 2012. I enjoy being on air in the afternoons, helping to choose the music we play on HIS Radio.
Most weekends my bride and I love to hit some of the great hiking trails we have in the area. It’s so peaceful to be in the woods and enjoy God’s creation. Afterward, we look for a great place to grab a bite to eat.
Jesus became real to me just a few months into our marriage. We had a fight, and I went to the living room. My wife stayed in the bedroom. It wasn’t a preacher or concert that led me to Jesus, it was a movie. Watching “The Ten Commandments” on Easter weekend in 1989 I prayed and surrendered my life to Jesus. The next morning, I shared this with my bride and God in His amazing grace had orchestrated the same thing in her life
My motto is "God's got this."
