Joseph grew up immersed in stories and burying his nose in books. After high school, he moved away from home to attend UCLA, where he majored in History and Psychology. After graduation, he left Los Angeles in order to be closer to family. It wasn't long before the beautiful scenery of his childhood home inspired his love of fiction. He now lives in northern California with his fiance and continues to write. He enjoys cooking, music, and nature walks that inspire his work. He also proudly admits to a coffee addiction.
