Joshua grew up in Nashville, Tennessee but now lives in Brooklyn, New York. Beside the fact that some of his family lives in New York, he felt attracted to and decided to come to New York because he felt there were many opportunities waiting for him there. He does many things for a living: he is an actor, a novelist who is waiting for his first novel published soon, a worker at luxury health club, and a writer for a magazine, among other things. He described the acting field in New York as competitive, with a lot of jealousy and backstabbing, especially among actors his age. He doesn��t like that they compete vigorously with and feel anxious to beat each other. He wants to be successful as an actor and novelist as well as be a good son to his parents.
