For 25 years, Bonnie and Van have shared about Midwest Construction's exceptional services and helped us build trust within the community. We also became friends during that time, and I will personally miss them.
I'll miss the interviews (Paul Despenas - VP Marketing, Midwest Construction) from the local home shows, live broadcasts during our anniversary month, and waving at them while they broadcast live from the I-Heart/Crystal Studio at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
While no one can fill their shoes, the time has come to let Van and Bonnie Retire! It’s time for both of them to enjoy more time with their families and doing all the things they love.
Stepping into their slot on WHO-AM will be Max Schaeffer and Amy Sweet. They are long-time partners as radio hosts and will now be hosting the Max & Amy Morning Show on 1040 WHO.
Max’s impact on our community is seen in his three decades of work and his contribution to Iowa’s cultural fabric and his ability to raise awareness and funds for a variety of local charities and causes. Max was inducted into the Iowa Rock n' Roll Hall of fame and is a popular stage talent and theatre director. He has been honored with numerous awards, including his designation as a Des Moines Community Playhouse “Legend.” Maxwell also happens to be a hockey fanatic and is well known as the arena voice of The Iowa Wild. He has also coached youth hockey for many years.
Amy Sweet has been a successful morning radio personality for over 20 years and is thrilled to be joining the iconic WHO Radio morning show and to once again work alongside her long-time on-air partner. Amy's love of her family, husband Scott, and daughters Peyton and Kenzie Charlotte keep her calendar full with competitive cheer competitions and family time. Amy and her family attend Lutheran Church of Hope and love spending time at the lake with their Golden Doodles, Tilly and Darby.
We’re looking forward to getting to know Max and Amy and to many years of working together.
My father said it, our family says it, Van and Bonnie said for 25 years, and now Max and Amy will continue to share our company slogan: Quality Products & Quality Installation!
