About Me

Having experienced firsthand the challenges of college fit and preparation as an undergraduate at Princeton, Josh is passionate about helping students not just get into college, but thrive once they’re there.

Before College Journey, Josh co-founded MindSciences, a digital mental health company (acquired by public healthcare company Sharecare) that helped hundreds of thousands manage stress and anxiety. He also helped create pioneering 529 college savings plans at Upromise, gaining deep insight into the financial challenges families face in planning for college.

A father of a high school student himself and co-founder of Mindshift Recovery, a nonprofit supporting people affected by addiction, Josh brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to helping families navigate the path to college with confidence and clarity.

He lives with his wife, son, two dogs, and two cats on the south shore of Massachusetts.
