After which he spent a brief year living in Manhattan before heading cross country on America’s antiquated rail system and eventually making it all the way to the land of the rising sun, Japan. After a couple year long stint in Osaka and Nagano, Josh spent the better part of his twenties based out of Tokyo, developing language and cultural exchange programming for the Peace Boat organization. Twenty global circumnavigations and about a hundred port cities later, Josh moved to Maui HI to raise his five-year-old daughter of Brazilian, Japanese and American descent in this little creole paradise, known as Maui, sitting on a rock in the center of the 21st centuries’ engine room of the planet. The presence of Jersey food like Serpico’s pizza and Jersey Mike’s subs may allow him to stay here until the day he shuffles off this mortal coil. He’s pretty sure he saw it all unfold from the plane on his way out to Japan a decade earlier.

Entrepreneurial by nature Josh has built a stable of companies with a focus on products and services that make him smile when he wakes up in the morning and cry when he goes to sleep at night. He has remarkably managed to eek out a living while creating them. A process in retrospect about as pleasurable as chewing glass.

Josh is the Solarcoaster radio show program co-host and founder. He started this endeavor because he really enjoys hearing himself talk and wanted to make sure he had an archive of his own voice on tap at any given moment should this insatiable need arise.

Josh likes skiing, sailing, golf and other sports of the elite that cost a boatload of money and remind him that he is no longer living in the hood of New Jersey. He’s not very good at any of them although he’s mastered the art of playing badly with a smile.
