About Joseph Giddings
Joseph spends his days performing feats of heroism as an IT guru in Winterville, NC. At night he’s a superhero to his wife and seven year old son. When he’s not saving the world from crashed applications and rescuing lost toy pickup trucks, he’s playing video games, watching TV, reading, writing, or searching for alien life with his telescope. Joseph has written fiction that has appeared at Ray Gun Revival and Mystic Signals. He loves science, and counts Neil Degrasse Tyson as one of his heroes. As a result of this, Joseph has become a bit of an amateur astrophysicist, and enjoys spreading what he knows to anyone that will listen.
