A proud and happy native of Washington State, Josh spent his childhood climbing up, sliding down, swimming in and exploring through the San Juan islands and Cascade hills. After leaving the nest, he ended up first being a professional photographer, then running a million-member online photography site, and ultimately became immersed in the world of web communities, users and and how to keep everything running smoothly. These days he spends his time chasing after his two young sons with his wife, following his favorite sports teams, drinking too much coffee, and fly fishing whenever he can. Josh is the leader of the WordPress.com support forums Happiness Engineers.
