Trey Radel is an author, actor, journalist, and former U.S. Congressman. Radel’s diverse background in entertainment, journalism, and politics give him the ability to draw out and convey stories in a unique, down-to-earth, highly entertaining way, always intertwining humor and humanity. Most recently, Radel co-authored Beyond the Great Divide with former New York Governor George Pataki. For the first time, Pataki, who was governor on 9/11, shares heartbreaking and inspirational behind-the-scenes stories from that horrific day. He also assesses the political fallout since, asking “Did the terrorists win?” Radel's book, Democrazy, published by Penguin Random House, takes you through the inner workings of Congress, all told around his personal journey, full of ups and downs and a dash of insanity. Radel’s career started in media, including TV, radio, digital, and print. Radel worked as a journalist, reporting and anchoring television news. He built and sold a community newspaper to the E.W. Scripps Company. Soon after, Radel was hosting one of Florida’s premier talk radio shows, doing four hours of live talk every weekday. 

Passionate about our country and politics, Radel ran for the United States Congress. The underdog won big, building a massive coalition of people cutting across generational, ethnic, and cultural lines. Fluent in English, Spanish and Italian, Radel has lived in, worked in, or backpacked through nearly fifty countries around the world. His love for people, places, and especially foreign cultures has taken him from South America to Southeast Asia and about everywhere in between. Radel also studied improv comedy at the famed Second City in Chicago. Currently, as an occasional actor, Radel has had roles on Sony's Crackle app and the Discovery Network. Radel lives in Florida with his wife, Amy, and their children.
