Meet Josh. As a member of the Marketing Communications Department, Josh is the voice of KDL through social media and email marketing. So, when you get an email from "Josh at Kent District Library," this is him. Let's get to know Josh a little more.
As a child, I wanted to grow up to be...
An astronaut. My room was decorated with planets and space photos. Unfortunately, I'm colorblind, which astronauts cannot be. Now I work closely with colors and graphic design for my job as a digital marketing strategist.
I know a lot about...
Chester A. Arthur (21st President of the USA). This trivial knowledge has come in surprisingly useful throughout the years. My two favorite Chester A. Arthur quotes are "If it were not for the reporters, I would tell you the truth" and "Well, there doesn't seem anything else for an ex-President to do but to go into the country and raise big pumpkins."
In high school...
I was king of the band geeks. In my senior year, I played trombone in the jazz band, baritone in the symphonic band and my teacher allowed me to join the freshman band so I could learn to play the tenor sax. I sang in the choir and performed at state competitions.
People might be surprised to learn...
I've written (and co-written) a handful of books since 2019, a few of which are available through KDL:
Man of Purpose
Winning the War in Your Mind for Teens
All of Creation
How to Fight Racism
The Case for Christ Devotions for Kids
Before coming to KDL, I worked...
At a local bookstore, then a worldwide publisher, then as an author. I like working around books and bookish people, I guess.
I'm a...
Recovering extrovert who is learning to appreciate introverted ways. I'm still happy to talk to strangers, but I'm good with silent contemplation too.
The books that made me who I am are...
I made a list. Check it out.
We are so happy to have Josh as part of the KDL family!
