Ross Kaminsky hosts the cleverly titled “Ross Kaminsky Show” on KOA radio in Denver weekdays 9 AM to noon. With an approach based on common sense and a respect for America’s Founding Documents, Ross aims to be a non-partisan champion for limited government, good policy, and individual liberty. Ross studied economics and foreign policy at Columbia University (don’t hold that against him). He’s been to over 60 countries and all but two US states. (Oregon and Alaska, if you want to know.) Ross is an adventure traveler, Navy brat, science geek, and NFL fan. He lives near Denver with his wonderful, beautiful and talented Australian wife, Kristen, their two children, and their hilarious English bulldog, Agnes, who receives constant reassurance as to her grace and beauty.
