Schmaltz grew up in Wapakoneta, Ohio and graduated from Bowling Green State University. After stints at The Evening Leader (St. Marys, OH) and the Springfield (OH) News Sun, he worked at the Columbus Dispatch for over 22 years, until his retirement in 2007. He was awarded the prestigious Hervey Award in 2004 with his feature on driver David Miller and in 1994 for his story on trainer Bill Robinson. Schmaltz will be presented his award at a ceremony Tuesday evening in the Delaware Log Cabin.
