After spells as a combat engineer, naval diver, commando, physicist, blasting specialist, fine art technician, and stand-up comedian, Josh finally turned his attention to his childhood dream of going to space.
Since 2012, he's spoken in hundreds of schools, universities, and businesses about how humanity will become a multi-planetary species, and how exploring other planets will improve life for those who remain on Earth. He's also the author of Becoming Martian - a humorous look at how colonising Mars will change humans in body, mind and soul.
He's currently based in Melbourne but looks forward to moving to Mount Gambier to pursue another life-threatening passion: cave diving.view less
