Joe Palermo grew up in Addison, Illinois. Upon graduation from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he moved to Japan to accept a position with the Japanese government as a Mombusho English Fellow (MEF).

He spent 3 years working for Shimaden, a Japanese manufacturer of industrial temperature controllers and then joined the Nielsen company (formerly A.C.Nielsen) locally in Japan.

His career at Nielsen spanned 25 years in various senior corporate roles focused on global market research, which brought him back to the US.

He worked for 6 years in a global capacity for Information Resources, Inc (IRI) where he established several global services.

He is now semi-retired and lives with his wife in the suburbs of Chicago

I studied the history and culture of Japan under him and I really had a desire to go there. I visited 3 separate times before moving there right out of college. My goal was to live there one year, but that turned into eight years!(less)

Billion Dollar Baby by Bob  Greene
"Usually, these celebrity bios are one of 2 things: A whitewash to sanitize a debauched reality, or a "tell all" expose to reveal the creep/pervert beneath the PR image. Here is the exception. It's a funny, breezy eavesdrop on tour w/ AC. What's revea" Read more of this review »

“Upon entering the shop, I noticed there were only four double chocolate donuts left in the case. When it was my turn, I said “please give me all of your double chocolate donuts, to go.” The clerk behind the counter, looking at me with a panicked expression said, “ALL of them?!” I replied, “Well, how about just four of them?” He breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thanks!” (again, there were only four double chocolate donuts). Another crisis averted.”
