Born and raised in Estes Park Colorado, home of the Rocky Mountain National Park. This area is also known for the haunted ‘Stanley Hotel’ where parts of Steven King’s ‘The Shining’ and Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey were filmed.

Joshua is 25 years old, moved to Portland with his ex girlfriend towards the end of 2020, she moved back to Colorado and he loves it here. He enjoys being active, running, biking, hiking, climbing (mostly in a gym). Our guest also loves singing, playing ukulele and guitar, and of course writing poetry. His poems are inspired by many different things; "sometimes I don’t even know where they came from", Joshua says.


Joshua works as an in-home caregiver, and he has one active client at the moment, a person of notoriety in the Portland punk scene, and someone that knows and has known many famous musical artists. Her name is Christina Ivory Pallay, and she’s a super sweet old Wiccan high priestess. They met when Christina was living on the street. When she received approval for assisted housing, she asked if Joshua could be her caregiver.
