Most people who meet him find him rather odd on first impression. Those privileged enough to get to know him better find out they were absolutely correct. Born in the Shenandoah Valley, he has returned to the Sonoran Desert, where he previously lived for 9 ½ years, bringing a special element of depravity to the invasive-plant-"removal" activities of the Native Plant Corps Saguaro Team. He graduated from the University of Delaware with a B.S. in Wildlife Conservation, proving that any individual possessing the right amount of self-discipline can suppress the urge to reduce nonnative plants to pathetic piles of ash and sawdust just long enough to appear mentally stable and worthy of a degree in the eyes of a prestigious institution…the wait was long but revenge is sweet. Josh excels at a number of projectile-related skills including dirt clods, ninja stars, and skipping stones. He likes football, endings where the good guy dies, and climbing trees—he does not like shoes. If possible he enjoys eating locally within his “foodshed,” but will gladly settle for a Five Dollar Box from Taco Bell when he can’t. Nickname: Birdman
