Josh began his career as a High School English teacher at Lakeside, an alternative school for students who were not successful in traditional schools. Early in his career, Lakeside began adding trauma-informed interventions to how they met the needs of students, and Josh was an early adopter of these strategies. He quickly saw the impact they made in his own classroom and began to advocate for the utilization of them across Lakeside, training and supporting his fellow teachers.

They quickly formed the NeuroLogic Initiative, which works with schools to train and coach staff to meet the needs of their students through the use of brain-based, trauma-informed strategies. While the primary focus has been to support local schools in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, Josh has had the unique opportunity to support several other schools and organizations in other parts of the world, including Norway and Israel.

In addition to serving as the Director of the NeuroLogic Initiative, Josh wrote and published the book,101 Brain Breaks and Brain-Based Educational Activities. This book is based upon NeuroLogic training and provides brain region-specific activities that educators can use to help their students.
