"Phalanx"
Hover over the image for navigation controls to appear. Josh is a pastry chef that enjoys, target shooting, airsoft, kayaking fishing, camping and 4-Wheeling. He was born and raised (and still living) in San Diego, Ca. As a kid, he was always out and about getting a sunburn, fishing, playing soccer, and camping with his father. Around 3rd grade he was introduced to 4-wheeling during a trip to the Anza Borrego Desert with a Family Geology class held by the San Diego Natural History Museum. The museum had a well equipped 4WD van they used for their classes. He loved the thrill of driving through the desert trails and having the opportunity to explore so much more in a weekend. It wasn't until high school where he was able to do a little desert driving himself. He had purchased a 2wd 1990 Ford Ranger, and on his first desert trip with his truck... well, needless to say he was throughly out-wheeled by his classmates who were driving a 4WD Pickup and 85 4Runner. After finally hydrolocking my engine in a mud bogging session a few years later (and being towed out by passer by in a 4runner) he was sold on Toyota. In early 2003 he purchased his 1994 4Runner. The 4Runner was left un-modded for a while until he met up with Lance (Goodtimes). Lance and Josh happened to be in the same Airsoft Wargame group at the time. He introduced Josh to the SoCal TOF/UltimateYota group and he's been having a blast ever since!
