Mr. Haldeman was born in Oklahoma in 1943, received a Bachelor of Science in astronomy from the University of Maryland in 1967, and was shortly thereafter drafted into the U.S. Army, where he served as a combat engineer in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam as a member of the 1/22 Airmobile Bn, 4th Infantry Division, and received a Purple Heart for wounds incurred in action in 1968. After his military service, Joe enrolled at the University of Maryland for graduate studies in math and computer sciences, but dropped out to write full- time. His numerous novels, short stories, poetry, and theatrical adaptations have won substantial recognition, including the Hugo, Nebula, Ditmar, Galaxy, Campbell and Rhysling Awards, among others.

Joe has served on the Board of Advisors of the National Space Society, as Science Fiction Writers of America’s Treasurer for two and one-half years; as Chairman of their Grievance Committee for 18 months, and as their President in 1992-1994. Elected a Director by the Board in August 2003, he has been re-elected by the membership several times, most recently in 2013. He is married to Gay Potter Haldeman, his wife of forty years as of 2005, and they live in Gainesville, Florida and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
