*About John Clay Wolfe*
John Clay Wolfe is President and Founder of GIVE ME THE VIN™ (GMTV), the nation's largest vehicle wholesaler with nearly $2 billion in annual revenues. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, it boasts an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has streamlined consumer vehicle selling with a 60-second valuation process. He's also host of the nationally syndicated radio program, The John Clay Wolfe Show, that airs Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to noon CT. It's heard by more than a million listeners weekly on 65 radio stations and on YouTube at The John Clay Wolfe Show.
A highly driven and successful entrepreneur since his youth, Wolfe has owned and sold numerous businesses throughout the course of his career. As a die-hard car enthusiast, he has worked in the automotive industry since 1991. He made his first million at 27 years old. In 1996 he was the first online vehicle buyer with GoWolfe.com, which would become GMTV. His key to success was having the foresight to create a commodity-driven market as a wholesaler, buying and selling cars through auctions. He also has the right mindset and personality to thrive in the adrenaline pumping world of auto auctions that largely mimics traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
In 2004, Wolfe had a tragic motocross accident, nearly severing his spinal cord. Only 32 years old, he was told he would never walk again. During his months-long hospital recovery, his wife of eight years and mother to their one-year-old daughter divorced him. He also learned his controller was embezzling from the company, forcing bankruptcy.
Emerging from these depths, he turned to radio, something he began to explore prior to the accident, but was even more motivated to do so after. He knew he could efficiently and effectively reach the biggest audience possible to promote his business while confined in a wheelchair behind the mic. On air, he challenged listeners to call in with their VIN (vehicle identification number), describe their car and then make them an offer, sight unseen. With his encyclopedic knowledge of cars and overall industry expertise, his show experienced rapid growth as his business became more profitable.
Over the last 19 years on air, The John Clay Wolfe Show has evolved into one of the most listened-to Saturday morning shows in the country that can also be viewed live on YouTube at The John Clay Wolfe Show. With his quick wit and bawdy sense of humor, he revs listeners up, likening the show to Saturday morning cartoons for adults. He and his co-hosts discuss cars, culture and sports while they also welcome celebrity guests.
The Fort Worth, Texas native put himself through college, graduating from Southern Methodist University in 1996 with a B.A. in Psychology. He resides in the same city today with his wife Jeanette. Together they have three sons and Wolfe's daughter from his first marriage.
