Personal
Josh is a Red Letter Christian and a refugee from the world of party politics, who once served as an elected party committeeman, who now tries to embrace the politics of Jesus--"a politics of selflessness." He lives in the Dayton, OH area and enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and family, which also includes two dogs (a Newfoundland and Yellow Lab), a corn snake, and a turtle.
He likes to read as much as he can in his spare time. In addition to books and articles in his fields, he also takes in books, articles, and documentaries on evolutionary biology/psychology, anthropology and genetics, space exploration, and theology/religious studies. When he is not reading academic or scientific works, he enjoys comics and graphic novels (Watchmen, the Walking Dead, anything Wolverine, etc.), classic novels, and contemporary fiction author Ted Dekker (http://www.teddekker.com/). His favorite TV shows of all time include the X-Files, 24, and the Big Bang Theory.
Josh's favorite band has always been P.O.D. (http://www.payableondeath.com/). He also personally performed with a hardcore/rapcore band called Urban Barakade during college. Josh wrote lyrics and did vocals. The band of six recorded one album (ironically titled "A Sign of Things to Come") before disbanding one summer when almost all the members got married (including Josh).
