RITY first aired on Bill Spry's ClassX Radio Network in late January of 2020. Thanks to listener feedback, the show has improved since those early days. Currently, RITY follows a themed format; each week's playlist corresponds with a particular theme. 

As for me, I grew up in Beavercreek, OH. I fell in love with broadcasting after listening to the Hall-Of-Famer, Marty Brennaman. In 2007, I left for Athens to study Communications at Ohio University. While there, I landed my first radio gig at WOUB-AM and became a studio rat. I spent many hours at the RTV Building honing my craft.

Unfortunately, due to the corporate takeover of radio, coupled with the advent of the iPhone, the radio industry wasn't much of a lucrative career. After I graduated, I wound up getting a job in the financial industry (I still work for this company today). However, I'm grateful to still be part of the radio business. Thanks, in large part, to Bill Spry who gave me the opportunity to join ClassX in the fall of 2018.

Aside from radio, I enjoy auto racing, flying my drone, reading The Bible, and hanging out with my family - Brittany (wife), Noah (stepson), Bristol (daughter), and Crosley (son), Hershel (dog).
