Lino hosts "The Catholic Guy", heard across North America on Sirius Satellite Radio. He also hosts "Lino at Large".

In addition to a daily and weekly radio show, he has worked in television since 1998.

He was co-executive producer on "The Last Flagraiser" - a World War II documentary commemorating the 60th anniversary of the famous flag raising on the island of Iwo Jima. The piece aired nationally on CBS stations and won the Emmy Award for Documentary, the Scripps-Howard National Journalism Award, the National Headliner Grand Award and the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award.

Lino recently produced "Champions of Faith" - a Major League Baseball film showcasing the intersection of sports and faith by profiling many of the most accomplished and devout figures including Mike Piazza, David Eckstein, Jeff Suppan, and Mike Sweeney.

From 1998-2004, Lino was host and executive producer of "Generation Cross". The show was broadcast across the United States and Canada. Lino won back-to-back Emmy awards for Program Host on "Generation Cross".

Lino has also worked as a features story reporter for WCCO-TV (the CBS owned and operated station in Minneapolis) as well as a weekly pop culture commentator for KMSP-TV (the FOX station in Minneapolis). 

Lino has a bachelor's degree in communications and a master's degree in theology. He has given talks locally, nationally, and internationally. He was also one of the MC's for Kelly Clarkson, Matt Maher, Third Day (and more) in front of 25,000 young people for the Pope's Youth Rally in Yonkers, New York.

He has lived in Italy, The Bahamas, Minnesota, and currently lives in New York City. He has been featured by CNN, FOX News, EWTN, Reuters, Christian Science Monitor, National Catholic Register, Catholic Digest, among others.

And he's really bad at taking himself this seriously. So lets take a lighter approach to his biography:

Milestones in Lino's Life

October, 1971
Lino Rulli comes into the world, born to entertain. Unfortunately, he has yet to succeed in doing so.

Summer, 1987
Lino joins the circus. (No, seriously. He rode an elephant in a traveling circus: Circus Flora.)

September, 1989
After awkward adolescence...only to be followed by awkward adulthood...Lino attends St. John's University, in Collegeville, Minnesota.

May, 1993
Lino receives bachelor's degree in communications. The university has since tightened its graduation policies.

May, 1995
Lino receives master's degree in theology. The university had not tightened its graduation policies quickly enough.

August, 1995
Lino moves to Nassau, Bahamas and teaches at St. Augustine's College. He is also head coach of the National Champion Boys Soccer team. Oddly enough, Lino has the athleticism of a dead cat...and his players would overcome many obstacles (including their coach) to achieve victory.

August, 1996
Lino moves to Rome, Italy; purchases several pounds of gold jewelry and shirts which only button halfway up the chest. To this day, the amount of gel in his hair shows hints of that glorious past.

May, 1998
After running out of money and creativity, Lino returns to Minnesota and creates a cable television program called "Generation Cross". Originally titled "Lino's Lame TV Show", advertisers encourage a name change. Viewers, however, maintain it was aptly titled.

March, 2000
WCCO-TV (the CBS owned & operated station in Minneapolis, MN) hires Lino as the "Soul Man" - a feature reporter doing stories regarding faith and humor. CBS stock plummets.

October, 2000
Lino wins Emmy award for Program Host. Many television critics say hanging chads likely to blame.

October, 2001
Lino wins his second Emmy award for Program Host. Like Oprah before him, decides to no longer enter for Emmy awards. Paying off the judges had become too expensive.

March, 2002
A monthly magazine in Minnesota - named Minnesota Monthly, appropriately enough - puts Lino at the front of its "Most Eligible Singles" issue. (This needs no punchline; it's just a sad day for Minnesota.)

May, 2004
"Generation Cross" goes off the air, and many tears are shed. They are all tears of joy.

October, 2004
"Lino at Large" radio: the show that launched a thousand "He's got a face for radio" jokes.

February, 2005
Lino is co-executive producer on a World War II documentary aired on CBS stations across the country. The documentary wins many of the country's top awards in journalism. Shockingly, CBS stock plummets even further. (Please see March, 2000 for the pre-cursor of that joke).
