When Rosenberg was two, his parents moved to a community just outside of Rochester, New York. He grew up in the small town of Fairport and graduated from Fairport High School in 1985. He attended Syracuse University (1985–1989)—spending one semester of his junior year studying at Tel Aviv University (August 1987 to January 1988)—and graduated from SU with a BFA in film drama in May 1989.
Rosenberg married his college sweetheart, Lynn, in June of 1990. Together, they made their home in the Washington, D.C., area for 24 years. They and their four sons—Caleb, Jacob, Jonah, and Noah—now live in Israel.
New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg, based in Jerusalem, skillfully and clearly explains the sometimes-encouraging, sometimes-violent, yet rapidly shifting landscape in Israel and the Arab/Muslim world. Enemies and Allies will take readers behind closed doors in the Middle East and introduce them to the very kings and crown princes, presidents and prime ministers who are leading the change.
Wuthnow holds a master’s degree in Computer Science from Princeton University and was a systems engineer at AT&T Bell Laboratories. She spent many years as a stay-at-home mom while organizing events for her church and community.
Wuthnow joined iVoterGuide in 2011 as a data analyst and was named president in 2018. Since assuming a leadership role, she led the organization to grow from 12 to 40 partners and to reach over 1 million voters nationwide in 2018.
Wuthnow is also the organizations spokesman and has appeared on American Family Radio as well as on the "Eric Metaxas Show," Debbie Georgatos' "America, Can We Talk?," "Point of View Radio" and "WallBuilders Live."
She is also a handbell musician and performed as a member of Council Oaks Bells from Round Rock, Texas. Wuthnow and her husband, Mark, live in Austin, Texas, and have three children.
