Bob Kingsley is big in American Country Music circles. He’s a leading country music radio personality and host of nationally syndicated programs, a standard for over three decades. He’s also an Air Force vet who makes supporting those who serve a life priority, including Veterans Advantage partner Wounded Warrior Project.

For 27 years, Kingsley was the voice behind the nationally syndicated countdown program, "American Country Countdown" and the two-minute daily "Bob Kingsley with America's MusicMakers." After talks to renew his contract with ABC Radio broke down, he successfully re-emerged to create the popular weekly "Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40," as well as the annual "Christmas in America" and year-end countdown shows.

Following childhood dreams to break into radio, the road to success for Bob Kingsley began when he was just 18 years old, while stationed in Keflavic, Iceland with the US Air Force. There, he auditioned for an announcer spot on Armed Forces Radio Station TFK.

"I did a little audition from the production studio," he says, "and they put me on the air working all night, which was just perfect."
