Dave Ashton


Hi, I’m Dave Ashton and I’m thrilled to be returning to the Granite State and joining the WZID all-star team! My radio career began in New Hampshire and after taking turns in Cortland, New York, Norwalk, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York just outside of New York City it’s an honor to take over the reins of such a great radio station and a joy to be returning to New England.


I grew up in Rhode Island and went to Emerson College in Boston where my love affair with radio (and the Red Sox) began. I’m a sports-nut who lives for Patriots playoff football, lazy summer days at Fenway and the first Saturday in May, when the Run for The Roses takes place. I play golf and tennis…just not very well…so if I see you on the course I’ll be sure to yell “FORE!”

My wife Nichola and I have been married for 15 years (we met in New Hampshire while she was working as an Au Pair…a nanny in layman’s terms!) and have a beautiful daughter, Hannah, who is a budding ballerina and fanatical High School Musical fan…but then again, what 7-year-old isn’t?
 
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my New Hampshire roots and hope to meet you at one of our many WZID events!
