Biography
Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is the host of the number one rated weekend hit "HUCKABEE" on the Fox News Channel, and is heard three times daily across the nation on the "Huckabee Report" on the Citadel Media Network, it is the fastest growing new program on the Citadel Media Network in years.
He is the author of 7 books, the most recent, A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories That Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit was a regular on the New York Times Bestseller list for many weeks. This is his second book on the New York Times Bestseller List joining Do The Right Thing, which was released in 2008.
After his campaign for the Republican nomination for President in 2008, in which he finished second to John McCain, he formed HuckPac to assist Conservative Republicans running for office nationwide and has amassed a volunteer team with thousands of activists in all 50 states.
From 1996-2007, Huckabee served as the 44th Governor of Arkansas and was a nationally recognized leader; honored by several renowned publications and organizations for his accomplishments. Governing Magazine named him as one of its 'Public Officials of the Year' for 2005, Time Magazine honored him as, "....one of the five best governors in America....", and later in the same year, Huckabee received the American Association of Retired Person's Impact Award. In 2007, he was presented with the Music for Life Award by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), for his commitment to music education. He served as the Chairman of the prestigious National Governors Association as well as the Education Commission of the States and the Interstate Oil and Gas Commission.
A significant part of his early adult life was spent as a pastor and denominational leader. He became the youngest president ever of the Arkansas Southern Baptist State Convention, the largest denomination in Arkansas. Huckabee led rapidly growing congregations in Pine Bluff and Texarkana. He said those experiences gave him a deep sense of the problems faced by individuals and families.
Huckabee's efforts to improve his own health have received national attention. Diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2003, he lost 110 pounds. Barely two years later, he had completed four marathons: The 2005 and 2006 Little Rock Marathons, the Marine Corps Marathon and the ING New York City Marathon. As a result of his accomplishments, The Road Runners Club of America named him its 'Southern Region Runner of the Year' and USA Track & Field has named him their 'Athlete of the Week' for the country.
Huckabee completed his fourth book on living a healthy lifestyle, Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork: A 12-Stop Program to End Bad Habits and Begin a Healthy Lifestyle. This 12-stop program is a no-nonsense approach to health through lifestyle change rather than a simple diet and exercise plan.
Huckabee, 54, is an avid musician and is bass player in his rock-n-roll band, Capitol Offense, which has opened for artists such as Willie Nelson and the Charlie Daniels Band. He has played the House of Blues in New Orleans, the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, CO; two Presidential Inauguration Balls, and two Republican National Conventions. He is featured each week in the musical segment of his Fox News Channel show with the Fox house band, "The Little Rockers."
The former governor and his wife, Janet, live in Florida. They have three grown children: John Mark, David and Sarah. |
