ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Bert Weiss was born in Brooklyn and began his professional career at a country radio station in San Diego as a research assistant. After inventing his own job title as Sports Director, he followed legendary personality Jack Diamond to Washington, DC, and ultimately landed in Atlanta in March 2001.

For the past twenty years, Bert has been entertaining audiences worldwide from this Atlanta base. The Bert Show now has one million listeners tuning in to the four-hour program each week. Bert and fellow cast members share life stories including struggles, triumphs, and all of the emotion in between. Bert also runs a nonprofit called Bert’s Big Adventure, which takes children with chronic and terminal illnesses to Disney World for an all-expenses-paid, five-day trip with their families, and arranges regular reunions.

Most recently, Bert launched Pionaire, a podcasting talent network. When he’s not on the radio, working on the show, or consulting, he’s most likely found spending time with his family, traveling, or staying fit. Bert has two sons, Hollis and Hayden, and is engaged to be married to Tiffany Haynes, who has a daughter, Elizah. Some of his best travel memories include swimming freely with sea lions in the Galápagos, scaling the Via Ferrata in Telluride, Colorado, driving buggies on the beach in Brazil, and stargazing all night in Bora Bora.
