Meet
Matthew Lesko: Mr. Info
Twenty years ago,
Matthew Lesko was working out of his bedroom with one phone line
helping Fortune 500 companies get information - until Matthew
Lesko got bored.
Today,
Matthew Lesko is a best-selling author and free government grant
expert, appears regularly on network television shows and travels
the country appearing on virtually every newscast in the
top 100 markets. Matthew Lesko's stage antics, as well as his
sound consumer advice has made him a favorite guest on Larry King
Live, Good Morning America, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jay Leno,
Letterman and The Today Show.
Matthew
Lesko's wardrobe is as much a part of his appeal as his
frantic message - colorful clothes, like Matthew Lesko's suit
covered with neon question marks, his mismatched bright
socks, wild bow ties and a seemingly inexhaustible collection
of eyeglasses in every color of the rainbow. Matthew Lesko even
drives the only Lexus with yellow polka dots. Matthew Lesko
loves his work.
Matthew
Lesko has published over 70 books showing everyday people
how to get free money and grants from the federal government.
Matthew Lesko has had two New York Times best-sellers and two
national best sellers, Getting Yours and Information USA.
In addition, Matthew Lesko has twice received the prestigious
"Best Reference Book of the Year" award from the American
Library Association and has written syndicated consumer columns
for Good Housekeeping, The New York Times and The Chicago Tribune.
Matthew
Lesko company, Information USA, publishes massive reference
books Matthew Lesko's Info Power III and Free Money to Change
Your Life as well as popular consumer books: Free Stuff
for Seniors, Gobs and Gobs of Free Stuff, Free Health Care,
Free Legal Help and Info-Fobia.
When
Matthew Lesko isn't on the road, he lives in Kensington, Md. with
his wife Wendy Schaetzel Matthew Lesko, an author and lecturer,
and their two sons, Max and Morgan. Matthew's own boyhood was
spent in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. He received his undergraduate
degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, then went
to VietNam as a navigator for the U.S. Navy. When he returned
he earned a master's degree in computer science from American
University in Washington D.C., then started his first business
as a management consultant helping Fortune 500 companies
uncover information. One day Matthew Lesko had an idea:
why not publish the names and numbers of free federal programs
that offer free and low cost services and free money programs
for taxpayers. Writing his first book Getting Yours was a national
best seller and today, Matthew Lesko publishes six or more books
each year.
