Joshua grew up riding his bicycle and throwing rocks on the mean streets of Denver's suburbs. He dreamed of the day when he, too, could become a bespectacled and mild-mannered reporter, moonlighting not as a superhero, but an astronaut-doctor. He still rides a bike but has since stopped throwing stones. Joshua writes community news for the City Times section. He graduated from the University of South Florida in 2007 with a B.A. in English and American literature.
