Kevin Salwen is a former reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal and co-author of two very different, yet equally compelling books.
The Power of Half: One Family’s Decision to Stop Taking and Start Giving Back, is the story of how — at the urging of their then 14 year-old daughter—the Salwen family sold their big house and contributed half the proceeds to help a village in Ghana.
The new book is called The Suspect: An Olympic Bombing, the FBI, the Media, and Richard Jewell, the Man Caught in the Middle. It’s a gripping read about the bombing in Atlanta’s Centennial Park during the 1996 Olympics, the heroism of Richard Jewell and the calamity that took place after the FBI named Jewell as a suspect.
Kevin is a graduate of Northwestern University. He served as board chair of Year Up Atlanta, and served as a board member of Atlanta Habitat for Humanity for 12 years.
