Twenty years ago,
Matthew Lesko was working out of his bedroom with one phone line helping
Fortune 500 companies get information - until he got bored.
Today, Lesko is a
best-selling author and government grant expert, appears regularly on
network television shows and travels the country appearing on virtually
every newscast in the top 100 markets. His 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.
Lesko's wardrobe is as
much a part of his appeal as his frantic message - colorful clothes, like
his 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. He even drives the only Lexus with yellow
polka dots. Matthew loves his work.
Matthew Lesko has
published over 70 books showing everyday people how to get free money and
grants from the federal government. He has had two New York Times
best-sellers and two national best sellers, Getting Yours and Information
USA. In addition, 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.
His company,
Information USA, publishes massive reference books 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.
