Former US Army IT communications specialist who began his online blogging career in 2016. Joseph has over 10 years experience in the IT industry as both an analyst and communications expert. He's a night owl and an avid Red Bull consumer who spends most of his downtime enthralled by online gaming and website building.
Joseph Boone is a technology and gaming writer for various online publications. Joseph has only been writing professionally since 2016 but has extensive IT training and knowledge spanning back to 2006 beginning with his enlistment to the US Army as an IT communications specialist.
He has worked many different jobs within the IT industry including server administrator to Arizona’s Department of Economic Security from 2013 to 2015 and an IT analyst for American Airlines from 2015 to 2016.
In 2016, Joseph made the decision to reboot his life by hopping on a plane to the Philippines and beginning a new career as a freelance writer working abroad. He has honed many skills in just a short period of time including SEO practices, the use of online marketing tools, website development, and various writing styles, just to name a few.
Since as early as he can remember, Joseph has been very passionate about two things - writing and video games. Prior to making money from his craft, Joseph attempted an online venture with his brother in the form of themmobros.com. The site provided gaming industry news and assisted in putting a spotlight on lesser-known YouTube creators.
Sadly, the venture was short-lived as his brother went on to bigger and better things at Amazon and Joseph branched out into a more professional setting. Still writing freelance for a handful of sites, Joseph also sets aside time during his schedule to work on his science fiction book series (unpublished) and learn new skills to help further his career.
Though the core of his career has been in IT, it’s not his field of choice. One day he hopes to make a living either streaming his online gaming sessions or creating compelling articles for the gaming industry.
