Joe Riekers has combined his skills and passions into a flourishing carrer in literature. Circumstances and situations allowed Joe to be part of Ms. Costello's English class for all four years of High School. He excelled in his favorite discipline and maintained an A average in English. Some of his reports were thought to be controversial but he defended them with passion. After H.S. he obtained a BA from Shaw University and a MA from Scarsdale University with a minor in English and literature. Joe's hobby has always been hunting and fishing, a rather obscure path to follow given his roots in suburban Long Island. Joe has written over 500 magazine articles, appeared on outdoor TV shows as a co-host, and has had two books published. All of his writing is related to his outdoor lifestyle.
