I have been waking up at 3 a.m. for 17 years, now ... heading to my morning show job on SUNNY.

I've been married for 20 years and have five children, ages 19, 17, 15, 12, and 9. I decided to do morning radio because that was the most high-energy part of the day for the kids, and I wanted my husband, Bob, to deal with that. I get them in the afternoons when we are all tired!

My job and my life go hand in hand. SUNNY's audience is made up of mostly women like me, dealing with kids, husbands, and women's issues, so the job and my life intermingle.

It's wonderful to meet and talk with listeners, and so much fun to chat with people who entertain us ... whether it's singers or actors. Meeting The Cheetah Girls was great, but my favorite all-time interview was with Will Ferrell!

Every time I hear or read the bios of media people, they always mention all the awards they've won ... so I will too! After losing my trophy to Channel 2's morning anchor Owen Conflenti in 2006, I am proud to announce that I have regained for 2007 the RodeoHouston Goat Milking Championship that I won back in 2005. It doesn't get any better than that ... SUNNY isn't even a country radio station!!

Barbara Spier is the president of US Protection and Investigations, LLC (USPI), a firmly established and highly successful security and investigation services company. The firm has over 20 years of national and international experience spanning the globe. Barbara is the sole owner of the company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Her adroit leadership of the international company and publicly acclaimed successes and accomplishments stand as examples for women the world over.

Barbara started her career in the investigative and security field as a private licensed investigator in the State of Texas. Her company has extensive experience worldwide in asset and personal protection, and investigative services.

Barbara has always been very active in empowering women and enforcing robust gender diversity programs. Her company was the first firm to ever hire and train female guards in Afghanistan. The courage Barbara has displayed to conceive, fund, initiate, and manage this program provides untold satisfaction when the results of her efforts are seen throughout the country.

Her number one motivating force at this time is raising funds for her non-profit organization, Helping Afghan Women Project (HAWP). The mission of HAWP is to empower Afghan widows to become self-sufficient; by first meeting their basic needs, then through education and skills training; while at the same time creating goodwill for the American people. In just three short years, HAWP has shipped thousands of pounds of warm clothing and much-needed items to Afghanistan. Countless families (refugees) have been fed and given coal to keep warm in the bitter cold winters. It has been remarkable what has been done in Afghanistan, all starting with Barbara's vision and seen through by her relentless efforts.

Barbara's husband and best friend is Del Spier. They have five children and five grandchildren.
