About Don
Although his first love is radio, having started out at age 16, Don Thompson has spent most of his life working at his other passion, writing and directing motion pictures and television shows from his home in Hollywood.  A few highlights on his resume include several shows for Paramount Television and fifteen feature-length films like "Thief in the Night", "Life Flight", "Paradise Trail" and "Heaven's Heroes".  For more, see IMDB.

Don now lives in Des Moines with his lovely wife Beverly.  Together, they've raised three children: Chad, author and national speaker; Randy, who attends Greenville in Illinois; and daughter Jodi, who works in sales in Des Moines.
