He's rather demented, unstable and insane! With a background like his he's very likely to become the next Hasan!
Personal life
Glenn Beck was born in February, 1964 in Everett, Washington. His parents, William and Mary, lived in Mountlake Terrace, Washington at the time of Beck's birth[3] and sometime later moved their family to the Skagit County town of Mount Vernon, Washington.[4] There, his parents owned and operated City Bakery in downtown Mount Vernon.[5] Beck was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended Mount Vernon's private Immaculate Conception Catholic school. At 13, Beck won a contest that landed him his first broadcast gig as a disc-jockey for his hometown radio station, KBRC.[6]
Beck's parents were divorced in 1977 and the 13 year-old Beck moved with his mother to Sumner, Washington, attending school in Puyallup. In 1979, his mother died in a mysterious drowning in Puget Sound, just west of Tacoma, either accidentally or as a suicide.[7] A Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have either fallen or jumped overboard.[7]
After his mother's death, Beck and his older sister moved to their father’s home in Bellingham,[6] where Beck graduated from Sehome High School in 1982.[8] In the aftermath of his mother's death and subsequent suicide of his stepbrother, Beck has said he used "Dr. Jack Daniel's" to cope.[9] At 18, following high-school graduation, Beck relocated to Provo, Utah and worked at radio station KAYK, but stayed in Utah for only six months. Feeling he "didn't fit in", Beck left Utah,[10] taking a job at Washington D.C.'s WPGC in February, 1983.[11]
It was while working at WPGC that Beck met his first wife, Claire.[12] The couple married and subsequently had two daughters, Mary and Hannah; daughter Mary was born in 1988 with cerebral palsy, the result of a series of strokes at birth.[12] The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck's struggles with substance abuse. Along with being a recovering alcoholic and drug addict[13], Beck has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.[14] He cites the help of Alcoholics Anonymous in his sobriety and attended his first AA meeting in November 1994, the month he states he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana.[15]
In 1996, while working for a New Haven-area radio station, Beck was admitted to Yale University through a special program for non-traditional students. One of his recommendations for admittance came from Senator Joe Lieberman.[citation needed] Beck took one theology class, "Early Christology," and then dropped out.[15][16]
In 1999, Beck married his second wife, Tania.[15] They joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October 1999, partly at the urging of his daughter Mary.[17][18] The couple have two children, Raphe and Cheyenne, and currently live in New Canaan, Connecticut.
