Resumé: Began his career in radio broadcasting at 13 after winning a local DJ contest and wound up with three different jobs at three radio stations in Seattle. Became a successful Top 40 DJ, but by 30, "alcohol and drug addiction took over." He went into recovery and became a Mormon.
In January 2000, he moved to Tampa and landed a gig at WFLA hosting The Glenn Beck Program, a mix of comedy and conservatism. Within 18 months, the show became No. 1 in the market. He joined CNN Headline News last year.
Currently, his radio broadcast is heard on nearly 200 stations and XM Satellite radio. Author of The Real America (Pocket, 2003) and the upcoming An Inconvenient Book (Threshold Editions). Editor-in-chief of Fusion, subtitled "Entertainment & Enlightenment" -- a monthly mix of right-wing editorials, humor, and future obituaries (including a recent entry chronicling the death of Katie Couric's career at CBS and the demise of 44-year-old broadcast itself -- "Katie Couric's career and the CBS Evening News died last week in what investigators are calling a double murder. A suspect, Katie Couric, 50, is being held for the slayings.")
Birthdate: February 10, 1964
Hometown: Mount Vernon, Washington
Education: Courses at Yale for one semester ("No big deal.")
Marital status: Married to second wife Tania, with four children; Mary, 18, Hannah, 16, (both from his first marriage); Raphe, 2, Cheyenne, "about to be one" with his current wife
Favorite television show: "It was 24, but not this season. I think it's jumped the shark. It's probably a tie between House and The Office."
Guilty pleasure: "'My Grandmother's Chocolate Cake' from Allen Brother's steakhouse. Each piece is 3,000 calories. It's unbelievable."
