Josh was injured in early 2002 or 2003 while competing in a big-mountain free-ride competition, sustaining injuries to his L4 and L5 vertebrae. After several years of opioid addiction, he developed an infection in his heart, including MRSA, which required two open-heart surgeries. Complications from the infection ultimately led to the amputation of all four limbs.

“What's in your heart is stronger than what's in your way.”
