ABOUT ME
Originating from Lafayette, CA, Josh’s journey into the world of kayaking began in college when he watched a group of playboaters surf waves on the beautiful Yellowstone River. With piqued curiosity, he sought guidance from his friends, which ignited his love for whitewater and kayaking. Since then, Josh has worked on the challenging and thrilling Gallatin River in Big Sky, MT. During his most recent adventure to Chile, where he spent a month travelling and kayaking, Josh found his favorite river – the Futaleufú. The Lochsa River in Idaho and the Kootenai River in Montana are close behind.
When winter arrives, you can find Josh snowboarding at Big Sky Resort, where he has spent the past three seasons instructing. When he’s not on the water or playing in the snow, Josh spends his time camping with friends, embarking on new adventures, and playing his guitar. Stepping into 2023 and his first year as a kayak instructor at Wet Planet, Josh is eager to share his love for rivers and kayaking and witness the spark of passion ignited in others.
