While obtaining a Civil Engineering degree in 2017, Josh worked as a timber framer and woodworker. His senior design project involved completing a comprehensive restoration plan for the First Congregational Church of Randolph VT, built in 1790. A highly instructive project, Josh decided to pursue preservation work, particularly the kind that emphasized the use of hand tools. From Timber framing in the green mountains to restoring historic Newport estates, he has developed a keen sense for construction methods that stand the test of time here in the North East.
