Based in New York City, Glenn Beck is casting a tall shadow as the next
phenomenon of talk radio. The former Top 40 DJ entered the talk format in 2001
and already his show is broadcast nearly 200 stations nationwide. Millions of
listeners are drawn to this modern-day story teller who is armed with a quick wit, an
informed opinion, and a unique ability to inspire others to experience their full
potential with an open heart. His on-air presence is both commanding and inviting –
a trait he has been refining for the last 27 years.
Glenn started in radio when he was only 13 years old by winning a local radio
contest to be a DJ for an hour. Soon after that auspicious day, Glenn had three jobs
– one at a Christian station, a Rock station, and a Country station – all of which his
parents had to schlep him to in their home state of Washington. He was fired from all
three jobs – on the same day when he was 14 years old!
After high school graduation, Glenn pursued his career as a Top 40 DJ at stations
all over the country. Eventually, he landed an opportunity in Corpus Christi, Texas,
as the youngest morning guy in the U.S. at 18 years old. His career was soaring and
took him to Top 40 morning shows in Baltimore, Houston, Phoenix, Washington, and
New Haven, Conn. He rode the wave of professional success into the 1990s when
things began to change. Today, Glenn points out, “When you have that kind of
success that early in life, it’s easy for you to turn into a monster. And I did! I was not
a good guy.”
At the age of 30, Glenn lost his passion for radio – and everything else – as
alcoholism and drug addiction took him over. Struggling to find some answers to his
problem, Glenn pursued higher education. Though he was accepted by Yale as a
Theology major, he lasted only one semester, faced with a divorce from his first wife
and separation from his two daughters – the oldest with Cerebral Palsy. He was
emotionally and financially decimated and relegated to one of the smallest radio
markets. The shooting radio star had fallen to earth.
