Smitty

I started my career in radio at the mighty WPDH back in 2005. I currently help you rock out on your way home each day from 2-6 pm. I play deep tracks with our Artist of the Week, I blow your mind with the Mystery Riff at 4:20, and play your request with "The Ride". I was born and raised in the Hudson Valley and grew up on WPDH. Some of my favorite bands are Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tom Petty, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray, and George Thorogood just to name a few. I'm a husband and a father of two beautiful little girls. In my free time, I really enjoy hiking, and basketball, and just exploring the beauty the Hudson Valley has to offer.
