Josh was born and raised in Florida. He taught middle school for a little while and eventually went to law school. In addition to writing, he currently practices as a lawyer in New Jersey, where he lives with his wife and children.

Josh loves Star Wars, spaghetti and meatballs, and that sound a ring of keys makes when you toss it up into the air. For better or worse, he has never been trapped in a time loop.
