Born and raised in New England, Josh moved out to Bend, Oregon back in 2015 after high school graduation. He took a chance at a new life and found out quickly how powerful and healing nature is. After going to Central Oregon Community college for a degree in Outdoor Leadership, he spent two years working for a wilderness therapy program based in Bend. In 2018, Josh decided to work his way into the outdoor clothing and gear world by working for a number of outdoor brands such as Colombia and Fjallraven. After a few years of working for big name brands, he realized that he missed working mental health, but wanted to combine his love for nature and helping people. Fast forward to 2021, He started working weekends at an independent living/therapeutic program in Bend where his job was to get the students outside. in 2024, Josh left his full time job to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. This was the best and worst decision in his life. Now he works crazy amounts of hours to fund his summer long travels.
