After his work in politics but before moving to Los Angeles, Josh made his way out to Seattle, where he studied video game design at the Digipen Institute of Technology. This forway into a technology driven medium would help steer Josh's later decision to go into techology. But before that would happen, Josh would move to Los Angeles and begin working in television.
