Joel Bresler grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. He has always had a stronger-than-is-considered-healthy appreciation for puns, from the cheap and obvious to the extremely obscure. His first utterances as a baby were allegedly play-on-gurgles. While other could not make any sense this mysterious baby talk, Joel never failed to laugh at his own early attempts at humor, a practice he continues to this day. In his more serious moments, Joel serves as a consultant to the healthcare industry. He currently resides in the desert Southwest.
