Joe Tarantino has cycled through all 50 U.S. states, crisscrossing a vast network of roads and trails. With 25 marathons and other endurance events under his belt, he retired from a successful career in the aerospace industry as a chemist, engineer, and operations manager, responding to God's call to a different direction in an otherwise comfortable life. While pursuing his cycling goals, he seeks to inspire others to chase their dreams through his writing.
Joe grew up in Canfield, Ohio, and now lives in Louisville, Ohio, with his wife, Barbara, a former Spanish teacher and high school guidance counselor. Joe graduated from Greenville College (now University) with a double major in chemistry and English, holds a Master's degree in Analytical Chemistry from Youngstown State University, and has an MBA from Walsh University. Joe and Barbara, who married in 1979, have two sons and are active in the Nazarene church at the local, district, and denominational levels.
