Bio
Josh was born in the Spring of '75 in Louisiana. He moved here in '90 and went to Grapevine High. While there, Josh constantly called and annoyed DJs at The Edge. Finally, they relented and agreed to have Josh become an "intern". This really meant that Josh worked many hours for no money. In '94 the current host of the Adventure Club left for St. Louis. Josh was tapped to replace him. Josh was far too scared to take on the job himself so he asked fellow employee Keven McAllister to co-host with him. Josh and Keven fought constantly and rarely agreed on anything...music or otherwise. Many shows ended in yelling and "your mother" jokes. In '97, Keven left for LA to seek fame and fortune in the world of film. He recently directed a documentary about Texas musician Roky Erickson. Josh hosted The AC solo until November of '07. In '98 he started doing more regular work around the station like nights and overnights. He has been here ever since. That means the only jobs he's ever had are Albertson's, Bill's Records, Best Buy and here. He was the first to coin the phrase "Broheed and Cambria." Here are some of the things that make Josh's world go round . . .
