Glenn Edward Lee Beck (born February 10, 1964) is a politically conservativeAmerican television and radio host, political commentator, author, television network producer,  media personality, and entrepreneur.

While working at WPGC, Beck met his first wife, Claire. In 1983, the couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah. Mary developed cerebral palsyas a result of a series of strokes at birth in 1988. The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck's struggles with substance abuse. He was a recovering alcoholicand drug addict, was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and has described himself as a "borderline schizophrenic."

By 1994, Beck was suicidal, and imagined shooting himself to the music of Kurt Cobain. He credits Alcoholics Anonymous(AA) with helping him achieve sobriety. He said he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis in November 1994, the same month he attended his first AA meeting.  Beck later said that he had gotten high every day for the previous 15 years, since the age of 16.

In 1999, Beck married his second wife, Tania.  After they went looking for a faith on a church tour together, they joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October 1999, partly at the urging of his daughter Mary. Beck was baptized by his old friend, and current-day co-worker Pat Gray. Beck and his current wife Tania have had two children together, Raphe (who is adopted) and Cheyenne. Until April 2011, the couple lived in New Canaan, Connecticut, with the four children.
