The Hallsboro, North Carolina native began his calling for acting during early high school, where he performed in theatre productions such as "Once Upon A Mattress,'' and ''Sweet Charity" just to name a few.

Performing at the university and surrounding community theaters, Joshua starred in lead roles in productions such as "The Crucible as John Proctor,'' "All in The Timing," "The Waiting room," and many more. Determined and motivated, Joshua continued his journey by venturing into film and television. From being cast in extra roles to working his way all the way up to playing lead and supporting characters in independent films, commercials and voice-over work, he has proved his passion for the arts and continues to do so. Not to mention, Joshua became interested in modeling. His curiosity led him to doing print ad campaign work for a national clothing company, Citi Trends. Joshua continues to broaden his horizon and build on his journey by practicing and studying his craft.
