Caitlin Stoskopf
KCNS Promotions Director
 As she was almost born in an elevator in Seattle,
Caitlin Stoskopf has lived a life accordingly, whatever that means. She lived in Seattle
until the age of eight and then moved to Auburn,
where she started school. Having started
school in the third grade, rather than preschool, like most of her peers, she
has been found to take the road less traveled. Again, whatever that means.
In high school, Caitlin was found either in class, running
Key club meetings, doing charity work, tossing rifles and flags or at work.
Caitlin got her first job at the age of 16 at a local arcade/fun center that
shut down about a year after she began employment so that the venue could house a new police station and courts. Despite this devasting atrocity, Stoskopf searched for a new job and
found one as a waitress at a local family restaurant. She doesn’t like to talk about it. In
the last semester of high school, she took a course entitled “Visual
Communications” where she made a short film that she starred in as one of
Charlie’s angels and got to wear pink leopard print pants for it. In that class, she also got to take pictures
of friends stuck in glass cases and then developed them in the dark room. The moral of the story is that Caitlin found
her two new loves – video production and photography.
At Pacific Lutheran
University, Stoskopf follows her dreams
double majoring in Communications and Art.
And in her sophomore year she was one of two Short Films Producers for
KCNS. In her junior year, Caitlin reigned over the station as the General Manager. And now, lo and behold, Caitlin is the Promotions Director and will whip out her mad art skills on you if you're not careful.
Chelsea Gorrow
KCNS News Producer
 Chelsea Gorrow is a news fiend. She tries to find news wherever and whenever she can. Chelsea was born in 1849 in the city of Happy, Pennsylvania. When the civil war broke out, she became a correspondent and fell in love with reporting. Later in life, while interviewing Thomas Edison, Chelsea accidentally fell into a time warp in the inventor's studio. She landed on PLU's campus in 2004. From there, she acclimated herself to modern times and started watching a lot of TV. Chelsea then decided she wanted to get on television and subsequently found KCNS. The rest is history.
Ryan Ceresola
KCNS Entertainment Show Producer
  Born on the hayfields of rural San Diego, Ryan Guy
Ceresola was said to have show business in his veins since birth, as well as an
elevated level of arsenic. The son of a
traveling Navy man, Ryan enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, like having to
make new friends every two years. Using
his trademark “humor” and “paying people to hang out with him”, Ryan quickly
discovered how to communicate effectively in the world of his peers using big
words and only a few hand puppets. Those
peers no longer talk with Ryan.
Despite the lack of close friends
from secondary school, and the surprisingly large number of restraining orders,
these formative years saw Ryan Guy Ceresola become “kind of a big deal” at the
High School Level of Entertainment (HSLE), emceeing assemblies, presiding over
Key Clubs, and glittering countless posters to “razzle-dazzle the
lookie-loos”. Combined with his
collection of three (3) fabulous sports coats (two of which still fit!), Ryan
is truly a force to be reckoned with whether at the HSLE or the ULE/CLE,
FYI.
Now, at the
beginning of his second year at the prestigious Pacific Lutheran
University, Ryan Guy
Ceresola takes the helm as Entertainment Producer here at the world-renowned
KCNS studio. Delivering a “healthy dose
of hard work combined with a dash of cleverocity”, Ryan is very happy to be
working for KCNS, and very happy that he hasn’t been blacklisted by McCarthy
yet. Ryan is a self-proclaimed
“John-of-all-trades” and, often, doesn’t have a clue as to what is
happening.
Peter Brown
KCNS Entertainment Producer
 After finding his natural talent for acting and filming,
Peter began his rise to top, becoming nationally known for his acting and
filming as well as one of the KCNS Entertainment Producers. Starting life, as
KCNS knows it, as a volunteer for Lute's Late Night ('06 season), Peter moved
on up in the world over the summer to become not only a volunteer at KCNS, but
the FIRST volunteer of the week (!) at the start of the 06-07 school year. How
did he achieve such distinction, you ask? Simple! Ballot stuffing!
Working on
episodes of HOATAR, The Untitled Tim Kelly Project, and Listen, in positions
ranging from cameraman to studio guest and everything in between, Peter was all
over the KCNS radar for the fall ‘06 semester. He forged bonds with such
legendary KCNS employees Tim Kelly, Caitlin
Stoskopf, and Trevor Oetgen, and made the programming you, faithful viewer,
know and love happen. How did he have time for all of this work, you ask? Well,
Peter has no idea, either. It worked, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
That’s what his co-producer, Ryan Ceresola, says. Or would, if given the
chance.
But enough
about those other people you see here. To reward Peter’s tireless efforts in
and out of the studio (How many other people actually wore that free KCNS
shirt? Seriously.), he was rewarded with a “paid” position, Entertainment
Producer, at the start of the spring semester in 2007. You, o faithful and
tireless viewer of KCNS, will now get to see his efforts concentrated on the
new season of HOAPAR, or The Highly Original Adventures of Peter and Ryan.
Notice, if you will, whose name comes first.
Anyway, as Peter is a humble and hardworking
employee of KCNS, he has decided that this would be the appropriate end
to his bio. Omitting the thousands of other, highly important, highly
meaningful things he has done in the past week alone, he wishes you a
wonderful semester, and reminds you to tune in to KCNS whenever
possible.
Jessica Luppino
KCNS Live Entertainment Producer
 Jessica lives in a cave. She watched "Batman Begins" and became inspired to change the world by becoming a superhero. Unfortunately, Jessica didn't have any superpowers. Not even any ninja powers! Dejected and sad, Jessica turned to a life of crime and began selling electronics on the black market. One day, she was trying to huck a video camera when she accidentally turned it on. The rest, as they say, is history. Jessica, 49, is now living a life through the lens. Hearkening back to her batman fantasies, she was incredibly excited when she found out PLU had The Cave. She has hens forth merged her two passions into filming live events that take place there, specifically H.U.M.P. What a horrible life turned good. Makes you want to cry, doesn't it?
