In the world of Springfield radio, a new star has emerged: Alex Bryant. Originally from Macomb, Illinois, Alex's path to Springfield took some unexpected twists and turns. After earning degrees in Biblical Studies and Business Administration from Evangel University in 1995, he ventured into the corporate world.

Active and involved, Alex ran for US Congress in Southwest Missouri in 2022. He finished third among eight candidates. KWTO recognized his undeniable talent and offered him a chance to fill in on shows, which led to his current role as the co-host of "Wake Up Springfield."
Beyond the microphone, Alex's life revolves around his cherished family, unwavering faith, and a thirst for adventure. He's been married to his childhood friend, Angela, for 28 years and is the proud parent of five exceptional children. When he's not on air, he's cherishing moments with his family, indulging in board games, and delivering inspiring sermons to share his faith. Alex Bryant is not just a radio host; he's your voice, your storyteller, and your advocate.
