On A Roll

Smith started On A Roll as a local AM radio program in Phoenix in 1992, expanding it to include more than 70 national stations in the next 11 years. In 1999, he spoke at the Congressional Black Caucus on disability issues for African Americans and started a Web-based discussion group to discuss unique cultural issues that face this “double minority” community. As seen in ON A ROLL, Smith was the lead torchbearer during the tenth anniversary celebration of the Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) in 2000.

A 2002 inductee into the esteemed National Speakers Association, Smith has dedicated his career to increasing disability awareness through the media and public speaking. His work has resulted in significant national media exposure, including profiles on CBS's The Early Show and National Public Radio's All Things Considered, as well as articles in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Essence Magazine, and many others. Smith is currently the host of a new syndicated radio show called The Strength Coach.
