98.5 KTIS Minneapolis-St. Paul has appointed Aaron "Toast" Trost as its new Creative Services Director, with his first day set for January 19. Trost joins the Twin Cities station after two and a half years at Northwestern Media's KSLT in Rapid City, SD, where he served as both Morning Show Host and Creative Services Director.

"Toast brings a rare blend of passion, humility, and wisdom," said Ben Holsen, KTIS Program Director. "His insatiable desire to be the best will help elevate the way we connect with real people that have real souls in the Twin Cities. To say that I'm thrilled Toast is coming to Minnesota is an understatement."

Trost said he is equally excited to join the team. "I'm overjoyed, humbled, and beyond blessed to be joining the 98.5 KTIS team. They are filled with so much love and joy for each other and for every person in the Twin Cities. In everything they do, they relentlessly point others to Christ, and I'm honored to be joining them."

98.5 KTIS operates as part of Northwestern Media, a ministry of the University of Northwestern - St. Paul.
