Born January of '51 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is among generations of attorneys in his family.

At sixteen, Rush chose to pursue his passion in broadcasting through his on-air duties at his hometown radio station. After four years, he joined KQV/Pittsburgh, which was owned and operated by ABC at that time. Limbaugh later moved to Kansas City where he eventually tired of the DJ life and left broadcasting for business.

He joined the Kansas City Royals as director of group sales in February 1979 and later became director of sales and special events.

Rush caught the radio bug again in 1983, re-entering the field as a political commentator for KMBZ/Kansas City. A year later he hosted a daytime talk show on KFBK/Sacrarnento, nearly tripling the program's ratings in his four years there, enabling him to launch his national show August 1, 1988 with 56 affiliate stations, including WMT Radio.

The Rush Limbaugh Show is now the highest rated talk show in Cedar Rapids -- and America. The Rush Limbaugh Show has redefined talk radio forever.

Rush's monthly newsletter, The Limbaugh Letter, has a subscriber base in excess of 500,000. His two best-selling books, The Way Things Ought To Be and See I Told You So have sold roughly ten million copies.
