Upon returning from the Middle East he worked at Auto Nation and Findlay Honda. The past year, Josh was a mechanic for Rogers Machinery.  At Rogers Machinery, he traveled throughout the Pacific Northwest while often sharing his work accomplishments proudly with family. He volunteered to work extra hours at Rogers Machinery and often shared his determination to advance within the military, which reflected his incredible work ethic.
