Personal History

Born in 2373 on Earth, in the city of San Francisco, near Starfleet Academy.

Grew up with an interest in engineering, influenced by his father's career, and developed a passion for holodeck adventures, often creating his own immersive scenarios based on popular novels and historical events

At age 12, he joined a junior Starfleet club, where he learned basic skills and protocols. Although introverted, Josh began forming friendships with other teens aspiring to be Starfleet cadets.

At age 16, Josh began seriously considering a career in Starfleet, inspired by his father's work and his experiences in the junior Starfleet club. He started focusing on the necessary subjects and developing his skills.

At 18, enrolled in Starfleet Academy with average academic performance, majoring in engineering like his father and also taking the command track.

Josh found himself challenged but determined to succeed, regularly seeking extra help from professors and peers.

During his time at the Academy, he kept mostly to himself, immersing himself in his studies and nurturing his hobbies, including cooking and designing custom holodeck programs for his friends to enjoy.

At age 23, Josh helped retrofit an existing starship in spacedock for several months, under a project led by his father. While the ship never left the Sol system, he gained valuable practical experience of day-to-day engineering operations and routine problems engineers face in the field.

Graduated from Starfleet Academy at the age of 26 with average marks in his engineering and command courses, but with strong recommendations from his instructors for his dedication and attention to detail. Specializations in: Replicators, Warp Systems, Holodeck Simulations, System Design and Programming.
