After leaving active service, Josh continued in the Army Reserves for a time, until overseas employment complications made continued Reserve duty impracticable. He transitioned to the US Civil Service as a civilian Information Technology Specialist, working for the US Marine Corps at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms and the US Army at the Yakima Training Center. Josh later transitioned to Army Counterintelligence (CI) in 2009, graduating from the US Army's CI Special Agent Course and qualifying as a Special Agent specializing in Cyber CI. Since 2009, he spent six years in South Korea and another six years in Honolulu working for Army Counterintelligence before moving to his current assignment in the Fort Meade area.

Josh appreciates art and has enjoyed many hours in galleries meeting various artists from around the world. He also likes to travel, though that has been severely reduced since starting dialysis. After a transplant, he plans to take an Antarctica cruise to visit the last two continents that he has not seen.

Josh has been on dialysis since 2017, when his IgA Nephropathy progressed to end-stage renal disease, though he continues to work full-time. Will you help him reach his goal and dream of experiencing the sights and sounds of the remaining two continents and be free of relying on dialysis to sustain his life?
