Wayne Rice

Wayne Rice is a life-long youth worker, Christ-follower, and bluegrass music nut who spends most of his time writing, speaking, consulting, playing his banjo, and working to be a good husband, father and grandpa.

Wayne cofounded an organization called Youth Specialties, which is still making a strong impact 40 years later (now managed by Zondervan Publishing Co.). He also founded Understanding Your Teenager, which is now part of HomeWord.

He has authored 30 books and has hosted a bluegrass music radio program in San Diego for 33 years — the longest running radio program in San Diego history.
