Joshua is a North Floridian, who made Jacksonville his forever home after falling in love with the people and community. It’s where he married his husband, Phillip, and where they plan to start a family. Raised with his two brothers in Tallahassee by a single mother, who often worked multiple jobs to provide for them, Joshua learned at an early age the meaning of a hard day’s work, and he plans to bring that same work ethic to serve his community on the Duval County Democratic Party.

After completing his education at Florida State University, he focused on dedicating his career to giving back to the community and making a difference. During his lifelong career working in the non-profit sector, he’s advised young elected officials, advocated for healthcare solutions and working families, fought for solutions to climate change, and supported families facing cancer.
