Born on December 10, 1990 in Farmington Maine, and raised in the secluded town of 400 people in Weld Maine, Joseph spent a few years in home school under the roof of both of his parents, and lived with a younger brother who was nothing like him.
After being too reckless with arguing with family members, and drawing and using stamps to make his desk his, his parents were fed up and sent him to public school in the fourth grade, where he was the outcast.
He had never had to hang out with normal kids before, and went into a cultural shock with his surroundings.
Making up stories, and fibbing to all of his classmates and teachers to make him more acceptable. It had the opposite effect.
Following this pattern all the way into the eight grade, it wasn't until then he would meet a teacher that would change everything about him, and his perspective.
She told him that the path he was following was going to lead to destruction, but if he let her, she would show him a path that would lead him to a positive life, one where he could tell fiction and it would be acceptable, that some people would even pay for his stories if he just put his effort into it.
This effected Joseph very hard, and soon after he started his writing journey.
Unfortunately, that teacher whom meant so much to Joseph died in 2009, and he did not learn this until he was about to dedicate his first novel to her.
He has since been doing his best, and remembers how he has been told to tell his stories, but tell the ones people will listen to.
