About Me

Hey there! I'm Josh, a professional Voice Actor based in Columbus, Ohio. Voice Acting has always been a lifelong dream of mine, but amidst the hustle of work, raising kids, and life's adventures, it took a backseat. Then came the pandemic, offering me the chance to work from home - no more dreaded rush hour traffic! This newfound freedom sparked a reflection on what I really wanted to do when I grow up. So, at 41, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, determined to inject more fun into my life! And I'll tell you, every moment has been an absolute blast! Looking back, I can't help but wish I'd started this journey a decade ago!I'm also into running, proudly conquering my first marathon in 2021! I also dabble in digital art and photography. I'm a die-hard metalhead and all around music enthusiast. I have a deep appreciation for all things horror and sci-fi. And as an 80s kid, I still prefer the analog experience of records, cassettes, and actual books!
