Josh is from the Bronx, NY; and in his free time he enjoys studying Psychology, Psychiatry, Language, Religion, Philosophy, Cosmology, Physics, Astrophysics, and Metaphysics. For hobbies, he participates in mixed martial arts, boxing, making music, and is also a former competitive bodybuilder.

Josh is charismatic, empathetic, conscientious, and forthright. He strongly believes that a person’s underlying unconscious identifications continually seek equilibrium among the id, ego, and superego—a state in which all parts of the psyche exist in harmony and function together as a unified whole with optimal effectiveness and efficiency.​

As the great Clinical Psychologist Sigmund Freud once said:
“A person should not strive to eliminate their complexes, but to get into accord with them; they are what legitimately directs their conduct in the world.”
