This September, we’re asking you to LEVEL UP!

We’ve been working hard here at Pulse 101.7, and it’s paying off in some really cool ways:
– Listenership is growing. God is using the music and staff to spread hope to thousands of listeners in central Iowa and around the world through our app.
– More people than ever before are requesting our presence at events and in classrooms to share hope with our community.
– People are sharing story after story of how Pulse is impacting their lives and those around them!

As Pulse 101.7’s influence grows, so does our financial need. Will you join me in helping to power Pulse for the future? Consider the following:

1. Join our monthly giving family for the first time. We’ll welcome you with our exclusive Club t-shirt, and your ongoing support will help keep the mission fully funded!
2. LEVEL UP and increase your current monthly giving by $10 or more. We’ll thank you with two free tickets to see Apollo LTD at the Pulse studios on October 1st!
3. As always, a gift of any amount (monthly or one-time) is extremely helpful. Please pray and join us with your best gift and help ensure that Pulse is around for generations to come! Thank you for your partnership in the mission!

-Rachel Leigh, Program Director

We want to see you at the Iowa State Fair! You can find us next to Little Hands on the Farm (D14 on map). See you soon!

Hey, there! I’m Chris Ortiz and have called West Des Moines home my entire life. I first got into radio while attending Graceland University. (Go Yellowjackets!) I was fortunate enough to be Program Director for KBUZ radio for two years and participated in numerous theatre productions.  I graduated with a BA in Communication and a Minor in Theatre the spring of 2018. 

I have the most supportive and loving family; my parents, my older brother, and his wife. I am also a proud uncle of two hilarious nephews, Benny and Rico. They are 5 and 3 years old. They definitely keep me running around! In my free time I love to read, geocache, play video games, and perform ventriloquism. I have listened to Pulse 101.7 ever since I can remember and I am so grateful to be part of the team!
