Josh graduated from Lancaster High School in 2002, and went on to study at Southwest Technical College. In 2007, he married Katie (Allen) of Watertown, WI. Together in 2008 they purchased Brownie Farms in Stitzer, WI to fulfil Josh's dream of being an organic dairy farmer. . In 2008, they welcomed into the world their first child, a daughter named Isabella Marie, and in 2011 their family grew again with the birth of their son, Maxon Charlie. They moved to Lake Mills, WI in 2014, after a recurrence of cancer, and Josh began work in construction and electrical assembly of Eaton. He actively involved himself at Saint Clements Catholic Parish in Lancaster, WI, and then at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish in Jefferson, WI, as an usher and a Knight of Columbus, and lived his Catholic faith in every aspect of his life.
