Josiah Chiappelli

Josiah Chiappelli is a former teacher and paralegal (among other things). After getting a bachelor's in English and winning a short story contest at St. Mary's College of MD, he tried his hand at a slew of odd jobs with terrible bosses just to see what legitimate work felt like. Turns out it's not great, but he got some good stories out of it.

Now Josiah lives in Annapolis, MD with his wife and two daughters. He works in the Washington, DC area in one of those ambiguous jobs that are hard to describe, so he usually just calls himself a "consultant." He spends his free time writing, watching movies, playing board games with friends, or complaining to the Internet about one or more of the above. It's a good life.
