A native New Yorker (well, Westchester, if we’re being honest), Josh was raised on showtunes, but first caught the acting bug at a Shakespeare summer camp in middle school. Nonetheless, he was a dutiful son and attended Brown University for Classics and Slavic Studies. He stayed involved with theater by acting, producing, and directing with a site-specific Shakespeare company on campus. After a number of years wandering the barren wasteland of “gainful employment” post-graduation (including a turn as a paralegal), he dropped everything and backpacked around the world for 15 months to study performance in different countries and reconnect with his sense of self. Highlights include: studying Irish theater in Dublin, dancing butoh in Japan, and having to walk across the Estonian-Russian border in the snow after being deported from the Schengen Area (actually a funny story). Post-pandemic, he finally undertook his formal theatrical training at the Atlantic Acting School.
