Marley Horner

Marley Horner

Program Director

Marley grew up down the street from the KHNS station in Haines, and spent an inordinate amount of his youth browsing through the vinyl collection. His passion for radio was fostered by the volunteers and staff over the years and started co-hosting with Tim Shields on Wednesday mornings when we was 12. After years as a volunteer at KHNS he is thrilled to be the Program Director, and to continue bringing quality community public radio to the Upper Lynn Canal.

A veteran of the war in Afghanistan, he used his GI Bill to earn degrees in Literature and History from the University of Alaska before coming to Haines.
