About The Author

Joel Ruda is a dreamer, doer, and believer that greatness lives inside everyone—especially the underdog. Born in the small town of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, Joel's earliest inspirations came from the world of professional wrestling, where larger-than-life characters proved that with passion, personality, and perseverance, anything was possible. That spark followed him into every stage of his life—from the bustling hotels of Atlantic City to the creative playgrounds of entrepreneurship, entertainment, and beyond. After over a decade in hospitality & sales, Joel founded Ruda Entertainment, home of Championship Material, where he designs custom championship belts that turn everyday milestones into epic moments. Whether celebrating a business deal, a birthday, or a personal win, Joel believes everyone deserves to feel like a champion. He's collaborated with wrestling icons like Bill "Fonzie" Alfonso, exhibited at WrestleCons & WrestleMania, and partnered with luxury car dealerships like West 2 East Luxury, where new clients are crowned with custom belts instead of boring paper contracts. Now based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Joel continues to chase joy and inspire others—whether as a casino host by day, a children's book author, or a dog dad to his two loyal sidekicks, Martín and Simon, who also star in his next book adventure. With "I Am Championship Material", Joel invites young readers to believe in themselves, follow their passions, and never let the world define their worth. His message is simple but powerful: being a champion isn't about a title—it's about heart, hustle, and staying true to who you are. The book wouldn't be complete without the bold visual flair of Greek Savage, whose graphic designs brought the characters and pages to life as the final piece of the puzzle. Because when vision, passion, and creativity come together—you get something truly Championship Material.
