Having been born in Calgary it was only a matter of time until Josh was drawn to the WinSport Halfpipe. With the support of his dad, Josh started skiing when he was 5 years old. He did his first turns at Canada Olympic Park and made the occasional trip to Nakiska.

Josh comes from a background of competitive hockey and started freestyle skiing when he was 13 joining the Winsport Academy after a couple of his friends convinced him to go and check WinSport out after school one day.

Josh’s career goals are to compete for Canada on the international stage. In the summers, Josh splits his time between working on the clothing line he co-founded, skateboarding, wake surfing, hiking and spending time at his family’s cabin.

Josh would like to give a shout-out to his mom and dad for supporting him every day.
