Overview

Joseph was born on July 26, 1993 in the town of Livingston, NJ. He currently lives in the town with his parents. His current hobbies include photography and computing with his main academic interest being in the field of science. His political view is that of far-left and he is an Atheist.

Early Life

Joseph has always had an interest in computers which started when his parents decided to purchase a second-hand computer from a tenant living in his grandmother's two-family home. He started out by figuring out what happens when something is clicked upon which gave him the necessary skills required to operate programs from Microsoft Office to video games, although the former being  more used led to a basic understanding of Microsoft Office, including Access, at a young age.

The date of his first Internet experience is unknown, but his earliest memories trace back to the home screen of an early version of AOL, around version 5.0 and a switch to CompuServe. Although the order of this may be wrong due to most likely a lack of use. The few memories of his early Internet beginnings are extremely vague, with no memories of websites and only remembering the UI of the services.

Political and Religious Views

He also has strong liberal and anti-war views, with almost a hatred for the United States in its current state in all aspects: economics, politics, religious extremists; laws such as the USA Patriot Act which take away civil liberties; the attitude of those working in police and security departments since 9/11; George Bush and the Iraq War.


As can be implied from the above, he has a strong interest in politics and keeps up on current political news. As for the upcoming election, Joseph's favorite candidate was, and still is, Texas congressman Ron Paul due to his views on keeping the government from controlling the lives of the people and his plans for health care, although as he lost the Republican vote, that leaves Joseph with Barack Obama, who shares the same core values for improving this nation.

During the past few months, he has began to question the existence of God, other aspects of religion, and the workings of the Catholic Church. This has led him, after gaining insight from the movie Zeitgeist and Richard Dawkin's book  'The God Delusion', to have an extremely firm stance on the non-existence of a Higher Being.
