He has extensive experience working with clients in scientific fields. He has nine children, all of whom are homeschooled.

JOSEPH VOSS
Joseph Voss is most exhilarated for the forthcoming advent of linguistics and historical pedagogy. Though sometimes seen as pretentious, Joseph has acquired extensive knowledge and has much to impart this year. He has been a dedicated member of his church, leading by example through his involvement in teaching various VBS, youth, and Awana programs. Since the introduction of Sightline in 2021, Joseph has actively participated in literature classes, gaining valuable personal experience. Homeschooled himself by his loving parents, Joseph has been well taught and is eager to share his wisdom with the next generation of aspiring writers and teachers.
