Sharry and Lance created and produced Mohawk Valley Living for 20 years (2005-2025), sharing the stories of the people, places, businesses, history, arts, and culture of the region through television and monthly magazine.

Launched on April 3, 2005 as a weekly television show on WKTV, Mohawk Valley Living was hosted by their friend, local actor and attorney, Richard Enders, as its host. The show took them throughout the Mohawk Valley, introducing viewers to the people and places that make the region unique.

In 2013, they expanded the project with Mohawk Valley Living Magazine, a companion to the television show. The magazine grew out of the people they met along the way—small business owners, artists, musicians, historians, craftspeople, and others with stories worth telling.

But their work in local media began long before Mohawk Valley Living.

In the early 1990s, as recent college graduates, they created a monthly newspaper focused on the Mohawk Valley. It featured local stories about small businesses and explored the influence of the immigrant cultures that helped shape Utica and the surrounding communities.

Their work soon expanded into television. Lance worked with WFXV, and together they produced an antiques television program. Sharry studied marketing and worked with both large and small businesses, helping them develop and market their brands.

In the early 2000s, they combined their interests in food, local business, and television with a daily cooking segment on WKTV’s morning news. From their home kitchen, they invited local chefs to share recipes and stories from the region.

That experience eventually led to Mohawk Valley Living—and, after nearly two decades of producing it, to what came next.

In March 2026, Sharry and Lance launched, Along the Mohawk, and returned to WKTV with a new TV show that is a take on the podcast format they call an enhanced podcast. It combines the flexibility of podcasting with the visual storytelling they have spent decades developing.

The format is new. The work continues: telling the stories of the people and places in the Mohawk Valley.
