Josh Collins
Communications Director and Father in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, United States
Standing upright and sniffing the air.
I am a father of three college students, a strategic communications professional, and a lover of film, music, transit, cats, tats and 'ukes.
In May 2024, I began working as communications director for the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management.
In the past I’ve worked for Fridley Public Schools, Roseville Area Schools, the Minnesota Department of Education, Ramsey County, TriMet (Portland), Minneapolis Public Schools, Mn/DOT and as a communications and transit consultant.
I also operate a small record label that reissues the music of my late father and his various musical projects.
I have a bachelor's degree (majoring in psychology) from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., and a master's degree in strategic communications from the University of Oregon's School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I conducted my research and studies at the Turnbull Center in Portland, Ore.
