    Hey joshpb,
    Please see this article: Method 4. Adding Author Info Box I tested this and it uses your profile info:
    Enfold_Support_683.jpeg
    You add this code to the end of your child theme functions.php file in Appearance ▸ Editor:

    function wpb_author_info_box( $content ) {
     
    global $post;
     
    // Detect if it is a single post with a post author
    if ( is_single() && isset( $post->post_author ) ) {
     
    // Get author's display name
    $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post->post_author );
     
    // If display name is not available then use nickname as display name
    if ( empty( $display_name ) )
    $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'nickname', $post->post_author );
     
    // Get author's biographical information or description
    $user_description = get_the_author_meta( 'user_description', $post->post_author );
     
    // Get author's website URL
    $user_website = get_the_author_meta('url', $post->post_author);
     
    // Get link to the author archive page
    $user_posts = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' , $post->post_author));
     
    if ( ! empty( $display_name ) )
     
    $author_details = '<p class="author_name">About ' . $display_name . '</p>';
     
    if ( ! empty( $user_description ) )
    // Author avatar and bio
     
    $author_details .= '<p class="author_details">' . get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('user_email') , 90 ) . nl2br( $user_description ). '</p>';
     
    $author_details .= '<p class="author_links"><a href="'. $user_posts .'">View all posts by ' . $display_name . '</a>';  
     
    // Check if author has a website in their profile
    if ( ! empty( $user_website ) ) {
     
    // Display author website link
    $author_details .= ' | <a href="' . $user_website .'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Website</a></p>';
     
    } else {
    // if there is no author website then just close the paragraph
    $author_details .= '</p>';
    }
     
    // Pass all this info to post content
    $content = $content . '<footer class="author_bio_section" >' . $author_details . '</footer>';
    }
    return $content;
    }
     
    // Add our function to the post content filter
    add_action( 'the_content', 'wpb_author_info_box' );
     
    // Allow HTML in author bio section
    remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');

    and this css:

    .author_bio_section{
    background-color: #F5F5F5;
    padding: 15px;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    }
     
    .author_name{
    font-size:16px;
    font-weight: bold;
    }
     
    .author_details img {
    border: 1px solid #D8D8D8;
    border-radius: 50%;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
    max-height: 60px;
    max-width: 60px;
    }

    for this result:
