[edit] Early life

Rials was born in Memphis, Tennessee, but raised mostly in Mississippi. He became a local Dee Jay in Meridian, Mississippi at WMOX in 1978 at the age of 15 and would not soon shake the “radio bug”. After winning numerous Junior Golf Championships, Beau accepted a Scholarship to attend Delta State University and play the sport. In 1983 Rials transferred to The University of Illinois where he received a Degree in Business Administration in 1985.[2]
