Josh is a wildlife tracking mentor and instructor. He contributes to a variety of the Shikari Tracking Guild's nature connection programs both in the field as an instructor and also as a curriculum development specialist.

Josh holds a level 3 certification in Wildlife Track & Sign Interpretation from Cybertracker Conservation International. He is also a graduate of the Kamana Naturalist Training Program. Josh sat under the same tree every day in New England for four years and has had chickadees land on his head, visits from fishers and foxes, and even had wild rabbits sit next to him within inches under the shade.

When he's not outside (or even if he is outside), Josh is known to write and sing folk music and play the mandolin.
