Joseph B. Ash

Joseph B. Ash is an author, devoted husband, and proud father of four wonderful children. He is also a Master Martial Arts Instructor and business owner with more than 44 years of experience as a student, world-class athlete, instructor, and mentor.

Throughout his life, Joseph has seen firsthand that martial arts is about much more than kicking and punching. He believes its greatest lessons are found in the confidence to believe in yourself, the character to do what is right, and the courage to keep trying — even when something feels difficult or new.

His passion for teaching and working with children inspired Amarah's Quest, a series created to share meaningful life lessons with young readers in a simple, positive, and encouraging way.

Joseph hopes every child who joins Amarah on her journey discovers something special within themselves — and finds the courage to take that first step toward something new.
