When J.S. Arquin was three years old, he’d carry a stack of books to the nearest adult and demand they read them all to him. When they finished, he’d fetch another stack. Thus began a lifelong obsession with books and the written word.
These days, J.S. is a full time narrator, with over 150 audiobooks recorded. I guess you could say he’s paying all those green eggs and ham forward.
