Now, he’s proud to bring his unique style to mid-Missouri, with the addition of a weekday drive time program on the Zimmer Radio Network. His non-negotiable broadcast principles are truth-seeking and calling out politically correct absurdity at every opportunity…all with a wink of humor and big nod to America’s First Principles and traditional values.
A father of three and husband of 40 years, Dr. Tobler is grateful to his wife, Heliene, and children Sean, Shannon, and Samantha for sustaining him through the trials of a serious illness in 1997. Their support and love, coupled with a deep faith that abides through any turbulence, serve as a constant reminder of the importance of perspective and commitment in life’s journey.
