Experience

Josh has kept himself fed and sheltered as a professional writer for more than 20 years. In that time, he has covered topics ranging from cars to fitness to polo shirts, in print and online. His first novel, "A Room With No Windows," is set to be published next year. It isn't about cars, but does feature an Acura Legend.
