Joe Chiappetta Biography
Joe Chiappetta has been involved in cartooning and publishing since the mid 1980s. One of Joe's most multidisciplinary creations is Bible Math, an online free eBook combining art, science, and the scriptures.
Chiappetta has been creating comics and art that reflect something positive about life for much of his career. For his family documentary work on the graphic novel "Silly Daddy," Joe was the recipient of the Xeric Award as well as numerous other award nominations over the years. This includes winning an Illinois Arts Council Award for his work on the book "Back Pain Avenger." This volume, its research, and the speaking tour surrounding it focused on issues of disability in the history of comic books, as well as presenting a non-medicated memoir of rehabilitation.
Joe received a Bachelor of Arts in Ministry and Charity Services, as well as Shepherding from the International College of Christian Ministries in Los Angeles. He's also an alumni of Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts who graduated cum laude and received the Dean's Award. His interdisciplinary education and experiences have forged him into a unique blend of entrepreneur, artist, father, and faith-builder.
As a community leader, Joe has been leading local Bible discussion groups since 1999. He also founded and managed a network of agencies that help people with disabilities get jobs and served for many years as a director for groups providing relief to the poor. He is the author of over 12 books on a variety of topics--all of them inspiring readers to live life to the full.
