About Me

Greetings. My name is Josh and I'm a green designer and consultant. I run a small studio called Thrive. Check out the website at:________WWW.THRIVE-DS.COM________I also run a design blog:_________ WWW.METROHIPPIE.COM________I dream big, but live for the day. I'm always up for an adventure... jumped out of a plane, ran a marathon, ate the world's hottest hot sauce (regret that), was a whitewater rafting guide, can truthfully say I was once hypnotized into thinking I was Miss America, am a reverend, was on a reality television show, dug up a mammoth, was very close to legally changing my name to "Fabulous," and am a national kickball champion... I am drawn to people who have ambitions of bettering the world. People who question their surroundings and burn for answers... I also love people who are creative, who can take an idea and turn it into something that inspires.
