Early life and education
Baer was born on August 21, 1952 to Sherwin and Barbara Baer. After graduation from Wiley High School in Terre Haute, Indiana, Baer attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. He also served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Samoa.[1] After graduating from Indiana University School of Medicine in 1978, he completed a medical internship in Indianapolis and a residency in ophthalmology (eye surgery) from 1979-1982. From 1982-1985 Dr. Baer served in the United States Air Force, including responsibilities as the Chief Flight Surgeon in ophthalmology for the entire U.S. Air Force and clinical instructor at the University of Texas Health Science Center (medical school) in San Antonio, Texas. He was actively involved with the LDS Church throughout his life, including during his time in Rome, Georgia.[2]
Career of life
Baer lives and works in Rome, Georgia, where he was a surgeon for many years.[3] During that time he felt he had everything in life to be happy, but something was missing—he felt empty and miserable. He began to search for more personal fulfillment and this led to his personal happiness and a career in self-improvement.[4]
He retired from his ophthalmology practice to begin a career of writing, teaching, and speaking about the subject of unconditional love. Baer has spoken on more than 1,500 radio shows, as well as hundreds of television shows, seminars, and other events across the country [5] and the world.

Baer is married to Donna. They are the parents of 7 children.
