A friend, champion, and donor of mine expressed how he enjoyed reading my blog and getting to know me better. So, I have decided to follow that lead in this excerpt and give a little taste from before there was Sailing With Josh. This won’t make what ultimately brought me to this point in life clear. Personally, I’m not ready for that sort of vulnerability. That seems like a book anyway.

Some know my story fairly well, while others likely have no clue. If you’ve kept up on your required reading, you already picked up on my childhood chicken expositions. My teenage years through my mid-thirties were focused on drums and percussion. I pursued those endeavors with the same vigor I approach sailing now. Intensity and focus are my thing. Personally, I think sailing suits me better. Sailing I can do by myself. Drumming depended too much on others.

We all approach life differently, so therefore all have a different journey. Sometimes that journey takes a crazy path. Somehow all this led me to where I am now. Here are some photos I came across recently. It’s about all there is. I hope you get a kick out of them.

I apologize, all photo credits are unknown.
