Personal life

Gino Geraci was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 24, 1956. He became a born-again Christian at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa on March 3, 1973 during the Jesus Movement.
After becoming a Christian, Geraci shared his faith with friend, Skip Heitzig, who did not believe in God at the time. Upon hearing the gospel, Heitzig threatened Geraci by pushing him against a wall, saying he had no interest in Christianity. Several days later however, Heitzig became a Christian; he later cited his encounter with Gino as a primary catalyst that motivated him to change his beliefs. Heitzig is now pastor of one of the largest churches in America, Calvary of Albuquerque.
Geraci met and married his wife, Mary, in San Bernardino, California. They have three sons, Anthony, Jonathan, and Miguel.

He currently hosts his own radio program, called "Crosswalk", in the Denver area on local station KRKS-FM. He has made appearances on national and local radio programs as a guest, as well as television appearances with Lee Strobel’s Faith Under Fire.
