Board of Directors

JAMES YEARLING – PRESIDENT

James has served as KRFC’s board president since 2019 and continues to be inspired by the successes of the station! He is an award-winning and internationally recognized event producer and communications professional with over 20 years of experience working with and for nonprofit boards of directors. As the general manager of Rockfan Entertainment here in Fort Collins, he oversees live concert productions at venues ranging from the world famous Red Rocks amphitheater to events just like today. At Rockfan, he enjoys working with clients such as the NFL’s Denver Broncos and the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, especially since he topped out at 5′ 5″ in 7th grade and has long given up his dream of being a pro basketball player! He still has hope that his 7-year-old daughter, Lucille, may hit at least 5’ 5” herself and perhaps carry on that basketball dream. If not, at least his loving wife agreed to let him name their daughter after B.B. King’s guitar!

ROB GRAY – TREASURER

Rob Gray and his wife Helen have lived in Fort Collins for nearly 45 years.  They have two married daughters and two granddaughters. Rob graduated from the South Dakota School of Mines in 1975 with a degree in Chemical Engineering and moved to Fort Collins to work for Eastman Kodak.   He received his MBA from CSU in 1984.  Rob held many leadership positions at Kodak during his 35 year career and eventually became Vice President of Consumer Digital Imaging and Manager of the Windsor, Colorado and Manaus, Brazil manufacturing sites.

After retiring from Kodak, Rob taught management and business classes for 8 years at the Montfort College of Business at UNC.

Rob has had a lifelong interest in many different genres of music and is looking forward to working with the amazing team at KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins.

Fred Jacobs – BOARD MEMBER

As an alumni of Colorado State University, Fred jumped at the chance to return to the Fort Collins area 20 years ago. A lifelong marketer, Fred has worked in the retail, gaming and, most recently, financial services sectors. A live music fan, Fred not only enjoys attending area shows but has spent much of his career partnering with music-focused events and organizations in the area, organically connecting businesses with these events along the way. Fred is looking forward to digging deeper into the local music scene with the wonderfully eclectic programming of KRFC 88.9 FM Radio Fort Collins (cold local microbrew firmly in hand)

Nina Bodenhamer – Board Member

Nina Bodenhamer serves as the Director of City Give, an “in house” approach to municipal philanthropy that allows the City of Fort Collins to respond to strategic projects and community needs that fall outside the normal city budget priorities but are well-positioned for private funding.

A career in philanthropic partnerships and strategic engagement began at Sesame Workshop, New York, and continued with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. As an independent consultant, national clients have included Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), Scholastic Entertainment, and the George Lucas Educational Foundation. Northern Colorado clients have included the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery and a 2019 voter-approved Larimer County Behavioral Health Services.  Prior to joining the City of Fort Collins, Nina worked for Colorado-based Bohemian Foundation launching Give 10, an initiative designed to inspire charitable connections, celebrate philanthropy and build a stronger community.
