He hosts the weekly WORD’N’BASS Show, broadcast Fridays on 104.1 FM from 10 pm to 1 am in the Oakland/Berkeley/San Francisco area. He also mixes Downtempo Electronica and pioneered a new form of spoken word -- WORD’N’BASS -- that combines electronic music with prose.

Author: A former boxer who fought throughout the western United States, BPM Smith has completed a novel, South of a Daydream Wish, about a pro boxer who kills a drug dealer and flees to Mexico with his girlfriend. He is currently working on Bistro De Mars, a love story set in San Francisco's Lower Haight District amid the boxing scene, rave culture, and car thieves. After Bistro De Mars is completed in Spring 2008, he will begin Love.bomb, a humorous and biting tale about a twentysomething dot-commer whose relationships parallel the tech industry’s rise and fall.

Journalist: BPM Smith is a financial reporter for a global news wire, and a contributing editor to seven business nonfiction books. In 2007, he was promoted to the position of senior news editor, making him the youngest staff member ever to hold that title at his 100-year-old company. Working in the media has brought him to major cities throughout North America and granted an insight: business travel is horror without Vicodin and Gucci sunglasses. He previously wrote for the Reno Gazette-Journal, PC World, and the Associated Press. BPM Smith has a bachelors of arts in English literature from the University of Nevada, Reno.
