Josh is a curious boy who loves animals and the great outdoors. These passions encourage him to do well in school so he can achieve his dream of becoming a zoologist.

The pre-teen loves to explore outside, finding small creatures, which always brings a big smile to his face. Josh also likes to fish and learn about science and nature.

Josh likes to know how everything works from ecosystems to meteorology to machines and aerodynamics. His inquisitive mind is always at work and Josh takes great pride in learning a little bit about everything.

Josh is looking for a two-parent family that has an involved father figure who can be a positive role model. He would like to have older brothers who want to explore or play sports with him. His dream family outing would be camping and fishing.
