Founder and CEO

A United States Air Force Combat Veteran who served two tours overseas (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom) as a Bio-Environmental Engineer focusing on Occupational Health and Environmental Protection in peacetime and nuclear biological and chemical detection and analysis in wartime.

The effects of cannabis transformed Joshua’s life, allowing him to significantly reduce the amount of prescription medication provided to him by the Veterans Administration and live a clear headed and productive life he’d fearedlost to chronic pain. Armed with a new appreciation for cannabis’s effectiveness and safety and a passion to serve his fellow Veterans, Joshua has worked tirelessly for the past few years to promote legalization of medical cannabis in his home state of Georgia. His goal: to end the needless deaths associated with accidental prescription pain medication overdose and reduce the number of suicides associated with PTSD.
