Josh joined the Navy while still in high school and entered the nuclear power program. He earned a full NROTC scholarship to Villanova University, where he studied mechanical engineering.
Upon earning his Trident, Josh served at SEAL Team 4, first as an Assistant Platoon Commander, then Ordinance Officer, and finally Platoon Commander. He finished his SEAL career as the Special Warfare Projects Officer at the Navy’s Experimental Diving Unit, where he was able to use his engineering background to solve special warfare diving issues.
Josh left the Navy in 1990 and pursued a career in manufacturing.
Josh’s work now hangs in many private collections as well as the National Navy SEAL Museum. He painted his best known work, Lt. Murphy and His Platoon to honor all the men who made the ultimate sacrifice during OPERATION Redwings.
