Learn more about Josh in this brief Q&A

Q: Tell us a little-known fact about yourself.

A: When I was 14, I was the drummer for the Canisius College basketball team’s pep band.   

Q: What do you like to do for fun?    

A: I like to try new restaurants, exercise, watch the Bills and Yankees, and take road trips. I also lead a team in a faith-based hockey league.   

Q: Best Buffalo Hidden Gem.     

A: Sanger Farms in Porter. They have great U-pick orchards, baked goods, and a new café, too. It’s the perfect spot for a fall afternoon.   

Q: What is your favorite part about living in Buffalo?     

A: Most of my extended family still lives in Buffalo, so I appreciate being close to them. Buffalo is full of selfless, generous people that make the community strong. Also, Duff’s.   

Q: What are you doing differently post-pandemic that you didn’t do before?    

 A: Since we couldn’t do much indoors during the pandemic, I began exploring our outdoor resources more. In 2020 I hiked or ran at 16 of the 19 parks in the Erie County system.  They are great, peaceful escapes and I continue to use them.  

Q: Since you are no longer commuting to work, how do you fill your drive time?    

 A: In the mornings, I have more time to cook a proper breakfast, pray, and center myself for the day. In the evenings, I read or walk to decompress. The additional time allows me to be more focused and alert during the day.
