About Julian Beauvais
Julian Beauvais has been a full time educator for the last 15 years and part-time content writer, editor and proofreader for several online companies for the last 7. His interests are varied and eclectic: European literature, ancient and 20th century history, existential philosophy, comic books, film, gaming, travel, physical fitness, wildlife conservation, martial arts, heavy metal music, 80's trivia, early Hungarian cabinet-making and obscure movie/TV show references round out his most frequently visited passions. His sense of humour, much like his personality, is dry and sardonic, while simultaneously self-deprecating and self-aggrandizing; no mean feat, in all humility. When not teaching, writing or training, Julian can be found contemplating the meaning of existence or planning his next trip to the UK in his backyard, over a mug of coffee, snoot of scotch, or leftover dishwater.
