ME!
My name is Josh. I was born just across the road at Riverside Community Hospital, about 30 (Eeeeek!) years ago! My family is third generation Riversidians (Word!?) My Grandfather planted some of the big orange groves with his father out near Victoria, which luckily is still greenbelt, kind of. I have lived all over southern California; I spent my formative teenage years in San Diego. My years in San Diego, and fishing trips to the Sierra with my Grandpa were very important in cultivating my respect for the environment.
In 2002 I joined the Army, and for seven years of my life jumped out of airplanes, and spent copious amounts of time going after “bad guys”, when it came time for me to leave that life behind I decided to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail (or AT). The AT runs from Georgia to Maine, while I was walking, and walking, and walking I decided that two key elements would have to be met for me to be happy with a career in the future, I would have to be helping people, or the environment, or both.
To do this I had to improve my skill set, namely learning skills that didn’t just include kicking in doors, so here I am! I want to combine my love for Sociology and the Life Sciences into some kind of super awesome superpower that will help me help people live more sustainably, change our consumption culture, and de-mystify the stigma against being “Green”, its not bad! I want to help myself, and my community, get to where we are sustaining ourselves on one Earth, rather than needing several at the detriment to some poor folks living more efficiently than ourselves!
I like hiking, long walks on the beach, cooking, fixing things, riding my bike, playing with my super awesome dog Jade, growing facial hair, flannels and tattoo’s. I think the biggest thing I want to learn during this class is the framework in which these Sciences are currently residing in, who is in there and what they are doing, and how we can use these people and brains to change the world!
