Ryan Seacrest was born on December 24, 1974, in Atlanta, Georgia,[9] the son of Constance Marie (née Zullinger), a homemaker, and Gary Lee Seacrest, a real estate lawyer.[10][11] His father served as a Lieutenant in the US Army and his grandfather, Henry Gene Skeen, was a Major General in the US Army.[12] His mother told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "Instead of playing with G.I. Joes or Cowboys and Indians, Ryan would always have a little microphone and do shows in the house."[13]
At age 14, he attended Dunwoody High School. At age 16, while still attending high school, Seacrest won an internship at 94.1 WSTR (FM), in Atlanta, with Tom Sullivan, who trained him in the many aspects of radio. When a regular DJ called in sick, Sullivan put him on the air for the very first show of his broadcasting career.[14] Seacrest was given the weekend overnight shift at WSTR.[13]
Seacrest continued to work on air at WSTR until graduating from Dunwoody High in 1992.[15] Seacrest went on to study journalism at the University of Georgia in fall 1992. He continued his radio show at a local Athens station. Seacrest left the university at age 19 and moved to Hollywood to pursue his broadcasting career.[13]
In May 2016, Seacrest was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from the University of Georgia and gave the commencement speech at the graduation ceremony.
