Joe Jankowski is an attorney, CFP, former US Army jungle fighter and a finalist in the 2011 Deep River Books New Manscript Contest. An Ohio native, he currently lives in Culpeper, VA near his two sons and three really cute grandchildren. His wife Sherry exudes the patience of a saint as Joe restlessly alternates between identities: actor, voice-over artist, wanna-be bluegrass guitar picker, and now novelist.

He has authored two books, "One Swing of the Bat," a Christian novel for middle grade readers; and "The Bruise Brothers," published by Deep River Books (2012) and recommended for mature teens and adults.

A physical fitness enthusiast and avid sports fan, Joe co-holds the national record for most strikeouts by a pitcher in a regulation little league game (18). His website is www.joejankowski.com
