Joseph Szakos was born March 8, 1954, in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

One book (We Make Change, 2007) is based on 81 interviews with community organizers across the country about what they do and why they do it.
The other (Lessons from the Field, 2008) is a compilation of essays written by experienced rural community organizers, sharing lessons they have learned.
