Joshua Kinser is a native Floridian from Pensacola who spends the better part of each year traveling the entire length of the Florida Gulf Coast. He honed his writing skills working as a staff writer for The Pensacola News Journal and publishing articles for magazines such as SAIL and Times of the Islands. He is passionate about the outdoors and is always searching for the best hiking trails, campsites, and fishing spots along the Florida Gulf Coast to include in his guidebook. When he isn't writing guidebooks he's busy writing other fiction and nonfiction books.
