Josh graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Virginia Tech. During his time at Virginia Tech, Josh participated in undergraduate research at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute and through an internship at the University of Alabama Birmingham. His research focused on identifying the presence of select genes that control feeding behavior. His research was part of a larger study by principal investigators who were working to better understand the role genetic predisposition plays in the onset of obesity in humans. Josh also took courses in cell and molecular biology, microbiology, and infectious disease ecology.

Josh received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Virginia School of Law. While at UVA, Josh took courses in health law and food and drug law, and he produced and performed in The Libel Show, a nearly 120-year-old tradition at UVA where law students satirize the contemporaneous legal and political landscape with sketch comedy, parodical music, and music videos. Upon graduation, Josh knew he wanted to combine science and law in his practice. He also knew he wanted to advocate for clients in litigation and help them navigate and resolve disputes involving complex subject matter.
