Imus broadcast his first program from New York City in 1971. His life journey has by some accounts been arduous.. It began out in California and Arizona, and eventually would make its way on across to Ohio and New York.

Imus was born in Riverside, California. Ranching was the family business. His familiar cowboy persona is completely legitimate. If he revels in the agony of others, as he jokes, it may just be because he’s had a little of that himself.

Imus did spend a full twelve years in public school emerging with no formal education. He graduated with no honors and no skills, a rare stroke of luck because a broadcasting career required neither. Difficulty continued after Imus's school days: his undistinguished stretch in the marines, labor in an Arizona copper mine and working on a railroad. Imus suffered a back injury in an engine derailment and at one point the indignities of homelessness, hitchhiking and being broke.

This instilled him with humility, deep respect for our country and its workers, and a need to get even. He emerged from the experience with attributes that contributed to the broadcasting distinction he realized: authenticity with a unique ability to connect with people who work hard, serve country, and care about what matters.

Once Imus began broadcasting, fame and acclaim came quickly. He was inducted into both the National Association of Broadcasters and radio halls of fame. He is the recipient of four Marconi awards. Don Imus was featured on TV programs such as NBC’s “Today” show and CBS’ “60 Minutes.” He was a guest on Charlie Rose, David Letterman, and Larry King.

Don Imus raised millions for the Tomorrows Children Fund, the CJ Foundation for SIDS, America’s veterans, autism studies, environmental concerns, and countless other things.
