He began his career in finance at USAA Real Estate Company.

Before becoming an investor, Josh spent about six years as an officer in the US Marine Corps, in infantry and combat engineering roles, and has led three different platoons ranging from 10-60 Marines. In his last role he led a reinforced rifle platoon and was responsible for the security and civil development of a city of 10,000 people along the Euphrates River. He graduated from Duke University. When not chasing his young kids he enjoys Alan Furst novels and any time spent in the great outdoors.
