In 1994, after completing his junior year at Pepperdine University, Matt Smith decided it was time to start thinking about his career. As a pre-law Student (Double Major: Political Science and Speech Communications) he did the logical thing: He took a job answering phones on a morning show at a modern rock station. He turned KROQ Program Director Kevin Weatherly on to some great new music, including a little band called Sublime. He not only worked with Kevin and Bean, but his love of sports brought him close to then “Sports Guy” Jimmy Kimmel. He was given the nickname “Money” and soon found himself on the air doing an assortment of comedy bits. The constants through Matt’s life have always been his family, sense of humor, and of course, sports. His playing career ended in high school, but he woke every morning to sports radio, read the sports pages front to back, and survived for years on Top Ramen and PBR to spend what little extra money he had to go to games. It’s a long way from Constitutional Law, but Matt will tell you it’s where he always knew he would end up.
