Jeff Bolton
 As a dynamic, nationally recognized talk radio show host at 570 KLIF in Dallas, Jeff Bolton offers a vibrant Middle American perspective on both local and national issues with a combination of independent thought, scathing humor and a tireless commitment to broadcasting "on the scene" where news and talk collide. Not content with sitting in the studio seat and pontificating, Bolton has been nationally recognized and honored for both his international groundbreaking talk radio broadcasts from Iraq, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, and his national broadcasts from New York after 9-11, and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. In 2003 he was the first talk show host in America to broadcast full length talk shows from the Middle East war zones, and also completed the first ever live talk radio broadcasts at sea with the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson. Bolton established his talk radio career at legendary stations 1200 WOAI-AM in San Antonio, Texas and 1110 KFAB-AM in Omaha, Nebraska. He has been seen and heard nationally on hundreds of talk radio programs across America including The Rush Limbaugh Program, The Sean Hannity Show and The Glenn Beck Program. He has also appeared on the NBC, FOX, and MSNBC television networks. Jeff also recently completed a 90-minute documentary titled America's Marine Aviators for PBS that tells the story of one of America's smallest and most valiant fighting forces. He is one of the few civilians in the world to complete the U.S. Navy's grueling water survival training program for pilots, With television, radio and print as launching pads for his philanthropic efforts, Jeff has helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities including the Freedom's Family Fund for military families, Operation Comfort for wounded military members, Easter Seals and Make-A-Wish. He makes frequent appearances before thousands of school kids each year in the person of "Lightning Bolton", a larger than life adventure hero who teaches kids to be strong, passionate, studious and silly.  Jeff is a proud Texan and was raised in Mesquite, Emory and Garland, Texas. After graduating from South Garland High School in 1982, Bolton attended Texas A&M for two years before transferring to Southern Methodist University in Dallas where he earned a BFA in 1986. A proud husband and father, Jeff and his wife Blaine have been married for eighteen years and have two children: Evan, 13 and Rachel, 10. Jeff is heard exclusively on Talk Radio 570 KLIF, weekdays from 5:00am to 9:00am.
