Dr. Joe Brickner grew up in Ohio but attended college in Kansas where he was a basketball student-athlete. He has always loved the game of basketball, but to put bread on the table, he pursued a business career at a Fortune 50 company. Nearly 30 years into that career, he got an opportunity to pursue his dream and become a men’s head college basketball coach. His book, "So, You Want to be a Coach..." is his story, told with the endearing anecdotes that life presents – some will make you laugh, and some will make you cry. Dr. Brickner not only coached but also taught Business Administration at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He is now retired living with his beloved bride of nearly 40 years, Connie. He has two sons, Alex and Scott, who each have three children of their own. His oldest grandson plays NCAA Division 1 basketball. Dr. B still works out every day and competes in age-division basketball tournaments around the country. He recently earned his blue belt in Chinese Kenpo, is a beekeeper and hosts a free podcast called "Building with Brick - Foundational Wisdom on Coaching, Careers, and Christ." The podcast interviews athletic role models and explores just how they became successful. Dr. Brickner recently completed writing his second book titled "America: Lost in Place (Musings at 70+)." In this book he analyzes 17 different areas of life in America and compares how things were in the 1950's and '60's when he was growing up to how things are today. His book is not only a nostalgic look at the past, but also a frank analysis of where we are today in our country. He answers the question as to if are we better off or not. His book received a perfect 4 out of 4 rating by the Online Book Club organization. You can find out more about Dr. Brickner at the drjoebrickner website.
