Josh Johnson is a legally-blind computer programmer, table-top gamer, and self-proclaimed anime addict who narrowly survived the academic perils of graduate school at the University of Washington-by the grace of God. Born and raised in South Texas, Josh brings his signature blend of sharp wit, heartfelt introspection, and unapologetic nerdiness to every anecdote he retells. The Bum of Padelford is his debut memoir, chronicling the unpredictable path from outsider to campus infamy. When he's not writing, Josh might could be found watching obscure anime, reading his KJV Bible, running D&D campaigns, or constructing puns over sniffers of brandy.
