Josh A. Brewer likes poetry, fiction, drama, history, travel, kayaking, instructional design, hiking, and golf, though he has mastered none of these.

He also uses Wikipedia to teach writing, citing, and editing to his students, and sometimes he refers to himself in the third person.

He cannot believe how lucky he is to get paid to read and write and talk to students.
