Josh attended Divers institute of Technology in Seattle, WA. where he received his certification in commercial diving and underwater welding in 2014. Josh decided to explore other career options and pursued his career in food service where he became the general manager at Taco Bell.

Josh was very handy at a young age. He was known for building clubhouses and bicycles with radios attached. Josh enjoyed doing flips and climbing. Josh would flip on mattresses and climb trees.

Josh was a free-spirited individual, even when it pertained to his wardrobe. It didn’t matter to Josh the color or if the clothe matched, if he liked it then he was going to wear it. Josh also loved to talk. He has never met a stranger because he would make conversation with anyone he encountered as if he’d known them forever.

Josh was a family man and took great pride and joy in spending quality time with his family. His greatest joy was his children that he cherished and loved deeply. He was also known to be a motivator, leader, protector, but most of all, he was a provider.
