About Josh

Shortly after graduating from Central Connecticut State University with a business and graphic design degree, I started pursuing my passion for photography, design, and traveling. In 2017, I lived and worked in Madagascar partnering with South African University, MRCI, and the Indian Ocean Conservation Institute. I volunteered by helping to document the reefs dying and regeneration with a team of divers from all over the world. This was the beginning of tying all three passions together and forming a small business.

In 2018, I found a blood cousin through DNA testing, 23 & Me, and we had no clue about one another. Our families had zero clue as well. Both families were just as intrigued as us to help search for answers. Our worlds were flipped upside down and the same with our houses looking for clues from what else…..PHOTOS! 

As soon as we became in contact, we started to dig through every photo album, photo bucket, and home video to find ANYTHING that could assist us! The photos and videos were proof and our family history has become more intriguing. During this time, I decided to quit my job at a travel agency to pursue this field to help others that may be in the same situation as my cousin and I. Growing up in this profession, having over 15 years of experience in the field, and being a part of The Photo Managers community has assisted in CCS’s success.

A few other partners I worked with include the Make-a-wish Foundation, Connecticut Private Sector, Connecticut Fair Housing Centre, Metallurgical Processing Inc, Hartford Hospital, The Administrator of the Finance Revenue and Bonding Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly, The Windsor Fire Dept., and recently ReefCi Belize.
