Salerno, Joe: - Joe is a retired insurance executive who lives in Rhode Island with his wife of over thirty-four years. They have two talented daughters and relish any opportunity to spoil their two amazing grandsons. When not behind the keyboard working to bring stories and characters to life, Joe can be found at any number of golf courses searching the woods for an errant shot, sitting at the bridge table sharpening his burgeoning skills, or at an airport waiting to board a flight to whatever locale his wife has identified as their next destination. Having witnessed the staggering impact of dementia firsthand, Joe has become a passionate and engaged advocate of the innovative work done every day by the Alzheimer's Association. He's an active Board member of the MA/NH chapter, and firmly believes the first survivor of Alzheimer's is out there.
