Broadcasting

Adaptable | Prepared | Professional

I have been involved with broadcast media since 2011, presenting live sports events from more than 10 countries across the US, Europe and Middle East.

Typically handling hosting and play-by-play duties, I’m also involved in formatting the rundown of the shows and generally contributing to the scripting and styling of the broadcast. Presenting in an engaging manner on any scale to any audience is an ability I pride myself on.

The events have been featured on networks such as CBS Sports, EuroSport, Sky Sports and UFC FightPass.

"His articulate but familial style keeps audiences entertained and informed enough to stay connected to the action. He’s exceptionally good at interpreting control room traffic and follows and influences the live editorial. Josh also conducted our post fight interviews and has done for many years. He seamlessly transitions from commentator to reporter in presentation and editorializes interviews and replays on the fly".

Other Interests

BJJ & Submission Grappling | Food & Cooking

I am an avid practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), in which I have been training for over 14 years and hold a first degree black belt. Through the sport I have developed an emboldened sense of determination, perseverance and composure in uncomfortable situations, as well as building a network of life-long friends. I have also continually developed my coaching abilities, regularly teaching classes for up to 60 participants.

 

I can also be frequently found in the kitchen or attending to my BBQ smoker. I’m currently in the midst of a taco frenzy. Salsa de molcajete anyone?

As a life long learner and self-experimenter, I’m always looking to move forward in one area or another. Right now I’m…
