Dakota Country DJ’s

I started my radio career in high school and have worked in Williston North Dakota, Marshall Minnesota, Sioux Falls South Dakota, Minot North Dakota and Minneapolis Minnesota. I love my job, and look forward to waking you up weekdays with the “Big Butt Morning Show”!

Grady has been in radio for 26 years and has worked on a variety of formats Top 40, Oldies, 80’s and his favorite, Country. My favorite artist are Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert. (Yes, he’s still upset about the split). I like to get involved with local charities and have a special heart for Veterans. If you are still reading you might be interested in the personal stuff, I have been married to Christa for 26 years and has 2 children Grady and Katie. His teams are the Arizona Cardinals and The Arizona Diamondbacks.

Wait…I have to write a bio and tell people all about me??? Hmmmm….let’s see….I’m a 6′ 3″ Virgo who loves food. The End.

Ha Ha! What…more?? Sigh. Okay.

I was born and raised in Lewiston, Idaho to Matt Swenson and Kari Kasper. I come from a big family and my parents are divorced, so as a kid, that meant twice the holidays…a complaint no kid will ever make! I have the best family and friends a guy could ask for, they’re the greatest part of my life. I‘m currently working on the Associate’s portion of my college degree. I recently became a Father of a beautiful baby girl that takes after her Mother in the looks department and her Daddy’s insatiable appetite!

I had always dreamed about doing a show, but never thought it would actually happen. My Grandfather once said, “When you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.” That’s how radio makes me feel. Not every show is amazing, but this industry keeps me in touch with my inner child and not a day goes by that we don’t have fun!

And the rest, as they say, is “history in the making.” (Cue the sappy music)

I Love me some good country music. I grew up listening to Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill and The Judd’s. I love that country music has such emotion and can tell such a great story. Today you will catch me belting out something from Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton or Lady Antebellum. God, Country and Family are so important to me and country music celebrates those things.   I love animals. =) I have a small petting zoo of sorts. hahha I have 13 chickens, 2 cats and a goat named Gwen. She is great and I want more! I have been doing radio for 16+ years and it really is the coolest job ever. I really wish I had my first radio breaks recorded. I was awful!!! My mom called me and asked me what on earth I was doing? She said I sounded like a 1-900 operator. So It wasn’t good. 😉 But I kept going and I am blessed to work with great people doing what I love.
