Ari Louis (born March 26, 1983) is an Israeli-American talk show host who came into prominence with the founding of Israel Sports Radio in the summer of 2010. Louis was born in Phoenix, Arizona and grew up in Glendale, Arizona where he attended Horizon Elementary, Landmark Middle School and then eventually Apollo High School. While in high school, Louis began filming the "Ari Louis Show" with his friend Matt Turley and cameraman "Gus McDanny," who is actually his brother, Danny Louis, a musician living in Israel, and has gained popularity through the indie music site bandcamp.com.〔http://dannylouis.bandcamp.com〕 The show was modeled after the Conan O'Brien show. Louis then attended Arizona State University in 2001. He studied at the Walter Cronkite School of broadcasting, but eventually graduated with a degree in Religious Studies. Louis experienced a great deal of antisemitism in his formative years and a result focused much of his attention in college to Judaism and Zionism. He founded the Chabad at Arizona State University and was the Vice-President of A.S.U. for Israel. While in college, Louis found out about a public access station in Tucson, Arizona and at the age of 19, started filming the show Louis Live. Louis would graduate college in 2003 and became a substitute teacher, partly due to a desire to help fix the disastrous education system in Arizona. In 2005, Arizona was ranked 50th in education. In 2008, Louis decided to move to Israel, although he figured his broadcasting career was over, his Zionist dream helped propel him to move. However, Louis's broadcasting career was not over. In 2009 he teamed up with Andrew Gershman to host a talk-show on Rustymikeradio.com. The show was called the Andy and Ari show and discussed American Sports. The program became by far the highest rated show on Rusty Mike. Louis and Gershman were approached by Joshua Halickman to start IsraelSportsRadio.com, and they did so in the summer of 2010.〔Israel Sports Radio〕 Within one year, Louis then became the sole owner of the company in the summer of 2011. Louis, with the help of Raphael Gellar, interviewed some of the biggest names in sports such as, Pete Rose, Roy Jones Jr., Curt Schilling, Yael Averbuch, Jesse James Leija, Alan Veingrad, Dmitriy Salita, Yuri Foreman, Robert Kraft, Brad Greenberg, Dan Shulman, Larry Brown, Herb Brown, Andy Katz, Tamar Katz, Zack Rosen, Shay Doron, Tamir Linhart, Gal Nevo, Shlomo Glickstein, Diana Redman, Shawn James, Bruce Jacobs, Bram Weinstein, Aaron Cohen, Guy Goodes, Melanie Weisner, Dan Duquette, Barry Tompkins, Tommy Smyth, Brad Stevens, Brad Ausmus, Shyne, Kevin Gilbride, Eric Nystrom, Sylven Landesberg, David Blu, Guma Aguiar, Brin-Jonathan Butler, Jermaine Jackson, John Thomas, James Tillis, Bernie Fine, Charles Grodin, Shelly Saltman, Miami Heat co-owner Raanan Katz, Maccabi Haifa owner Jeffery Rosen, Oakland Athletics owner Lewis Woolf, Amare Stoudamire, Jay Glazer, Mike Hill, Steve Bunin, CBS Radios' Amy Lawrence, former Detroit Lions player Caleb Campbell, Ran Nakash, Shay Doron, MTV's Jason Miller, Arash Markazi, Pat Farmer, Adonal Foyle, Adrian Banks, Derek Sharp, Gerry DiNardo, Kenny Albert, Ilya Grad, Samaki Walker, Andy Ram, Rade Prica. After becoming an owner at the age of 28, Louis's legend grew throughout Israel, with Sirius and Fox courting him. In the summer of 2013, Louis was approached by a radio station in Tel-Aviv, Israel and decided to stay in Israel, rather than move to the United States and take a job with another station. Later that year, Louis was approached by IsraelNationalRadio.com and given a show to host about The Messiah coming. The show began airing once a week, but within 6 months it was deemed the most popular show on the network and given a daily primetime slot of Sunday-Thursday and 5:00 P.M. (Israel) time and a bonus show on Friday at 2:00 P.M. (Israel) time. In the summer of 2015, Louis started a radio station titled "Israel Sports and News Radio."
