Early Life
Glenn Lee Beck was born in Everett, Washington, on February 10, 1964. His parents are Mary Clara (née Janssen) and William Beck. The family relocated to Mount Vernon, Washington, where they owned and operated a bakery downtown. He has an older sister. Following their parents' separation, Beck and his sister had moved with their mother to Sumner, Washington, but after she drowned in a boating incident in May 1979, they moved to Bellingham, Washington, to live with their father. Her death was ruled by police investigators as an accident, however, Coast Guard investigators speculated that she could have intentionally jumped overboard, and Beck himself maintains that his mother committed suicide. He attended Sehome High School, graduating in June 1982.
At the age of 13, Beck landed his first radio job when one of the local AM stations put on a contest for a guest DJ, and Beck easily won the gig. Two years later Beck applied for a DJ job at a new Seattle FM station, hired without ever meeting with his new bosses face-to-face. Management was taken aback by their new employee's youth, but they liked his polished audition tape and stuck to their decision.
