Prior to pursuing a career in electrical engineering, Josh grew up learning to sing and play a variety of instruments. An alum of Pittsburgh, PA’s C.A.P.A. High School, he has had the privilege of studying with world-class musicians on several different instruments for the better part of the past 25 years. He fell in love with bluegrass after attending his first Delfest Academy in 2014 and has been playing with several groups in the Pgh. area ever since.

His journey into health and wellness with regards to music began with participating in workshops, both online and at festivals, run by Active Potential. The benefits from the practices and skills developed through Active Potential continue to help Josh to establish and maintain a healthier and more mindful approach to balancing the demands of musicianship and his career in engineering.
