His passion for community and service to others came from 20 years in the Connecticut Air National Guard where he served in food services then as a photojournalist, and finally as an air logistics technician. While serving in the military part-time, Josh found employment working with governmental non-profits such as the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, was co-partner in a home improvement business, and is now currently a science teacher. The breadth of his experiences are keystone to his approach to organizational problem solving.
Why did Josh choose to serve on WinTV’s board of directors? Well, as an adolescent, and president of the audio-visual club, Josh’s passion in life was to tell stories. Real stories about real experiences and real people. His first videographer gigs were recording his Sunday church services, then to songwriting and finally to photojournaling by telling the Connecticut Guard’s story. Now full circle back to serving– to give people the same expressive outlet that allowed him to explore the world frame by frame.
