Raised in Sonora, CA, Josh grew up with the wilderness affecting every facet of his life, and spent countless hours of his childhood exploring the Sierra Nevada mountains. When his educational goals steered him to the concrete-clad megalopolis of Los Angeles, Josh realized the true importance of communing with nature and took every opportunity possible to escape back into the wilds of California.

After Josh’s graduation from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, his desire to explore the planet took him on a voyage of discovery around the world and into the heart of such wild places as New Zealand, Mongolia, and L’ile de la Reunion. This trip spurred his interest in photography and led him to begin capturing images of the beautiful places of the world.
