    Josh is a pastor and combat sports chaplain in Las Vegas, the Fight Capital of the World. At 47 years old, he began practicing Jiu Jitsu in January 2024 and recently earned his blue belt. A few months ago, he competed in his first tournament and won his division. Although there was only one other competitor, Josh defeated him twice with the same submission. Initially weighing 565 pounds, he lost 75 pounds to qualify for bariatric surgery, which helped him shed an additional 100 pounds rapidly. He is diligently working towards his weight loss and health goals, aiming to lose another 50 pounds to reach his target weight. An avid fisherman, Josh hopes to catch a 30+ pound striped bass in 2025. He has been married to his high school sweetheart since the age of 18, and they have three children in their twenties.
