W. Cleon Skousen was a world renowned teacher, lecturer and scholar for more than 60 years. Born in Raymond, Alberta, Canada on January 20, 1913, Dr. Skousen?s growing up years were spent in Canada, Mexico, and California.
He attended college at the San Bernardino Junior College where he was elected Student Body President.

At this same time he was employed with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Dr. Skousen married Jewel Pitcher of San Bernardino, California, in August 1936.

In 1972 Dr. Skousen organized a non-profit educational foundation named "The Freemen Institute."
