Biography:
Josh has followed an interesting path to his goal of making a career in the fitness industry. He started his higher education at UNC-Pembroke where he received a full scholarship to play baseball, a career cut short by a shoulder injury. This event actually planted the seeds for his path later in life. After transferring and later graduating from NC State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences, Josh went to work at the Carnivore Preservation Trust in Pittsboro NC where he eventually served as Head Animal Keeper and supervised the care of over 250 large carnivores.
After Josh left CPT he immersed himself in his true passion, the study and instruction of fitness and human physiology. He acquired his first certification through the American Council on Exercise and moved to Boca Raton, Florida. Here, Josh began studying at the Fitness Institute while he simultaneously built and developed his personal training client base. Working at a high volume health club in the fast-paced lifestyle of South Florida, Josh gained enormous experience by working with a wide range of clients with varying needs and fitness levels.
Since being back in Raleigh Josh has earned one of the most respected certifications in the physical fitness industry becoming a “Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist” and established Core Results Inc. He has dedicated himself to helping as many people as he can lead a healthier lifestyle while building a team of personal trainers that are some of the most qualified fitness professionals in the Triangle.
Josh spends his free time traveling with his wife Rae, a vet practicing at the NC State Veterinary Hospital, and staying active by hiking with his two beagles, playing volleyball, and coaching youth league baseball.
