Greetings!

My name is Joe. I'm originally from Joliet, IL, where I was born and lived until 2005. I now live in Wauwatosa, WI, with my wife and our dog. I graduated from Joliet Central High School in 2001, from the University of St. Francis in 2005, and received my MA in History and MLIS in Library Science from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2009. I am a librarian at Herzing University's Online campus.

My favorite authors are Alastair Reynolds, Iain Banks, J.R.R. Tolkien, Patrick O'Brian, David Sedaris, and others. My favorite media distractions vary frequently, but Star Trek has remained a favorite for decades. I also enjoy walking, bicycling, geocaching, intra- and international travel, trains, social media and politics.
