About Fitz:
The son of a Green Beret and a Texas pageant queen, Fitz was
born to host and entertain. At the tender age of six, the Bowie, Texas
native was already being heard on "Texoma" radio stations
after begging the local DJ's to put him on the air. His passion for
radio was undeniable and at age 17, the new owner of KNIN in Wichita
Falls, Texas recognized Fitz had something special and offered him the
morning show.
With that, Fitz's on-air dreams came true and The Fitz Radio Program
was born. Fitz's
next big break in radio came when he made the jump up to 93Q Country
in Houston as the co-host of its top-rated morning show. From there,
he had stints and #1 shows in Oklahoma City and Dallas, where at 23
years old, he became the youngest host to capture his own morning show
in a top-ten radio market.
At 28, Fitz hosted his first syndicated country countdown show, Fox
All Access USA, followed shortly after by the Powered by Country Countdown,
and his own national countdown show, The Hit List with Fitz.
In addition to now proudly hosting Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40
with Fitz, he was also the host of the top-rated, nationally syndicated
show, Fitz in the Morning, for many years. Fitz currently lives in Seattle
and is blissfully married with seven kids, including new twin baby boys,
and a Boston terrier named Susie Lou.
During his downtime, Fitz enjoys singing, spending time with
his family and friends, coaching his little ones' sports teams, and
watching UFC, reruns of The Golden Girls, and his favorite Hallmark
Channel shows.
Fitz has been described as someone with a huge heart who lives
his life on the radio; his conversations and stories are comical, honest
and relatable. Listening to Fitz "play the hits" is not like
anything else and after hearing his show once, you'll be hooked.
