I love people. From all backgrounds, from all places, everyone wants the same thing. We want to meet others and we want community.America Josh is an online guide and community network helping expats from all over the world move to and thrive in America. My mission is to make the transition more straight forward and life abroad less stressful.In 2017 I moved my whole life to New York. While I found lots of resources across the internet to help with my move, I couldn’t find a reliable central point with information about the basics; so I thought I’d fix that.America Josh started as a selfish hobby for me to make new friends and has evolved into a supportive community of fantastic people helping each other and working together to make their transition to America more straight forward.I write articles, create events, build partnerships, and help people. It’s a dream job and I can’t wait to see where it goes next.

I’m a computer nerd who loves to talk. This puts me in a unique position.Deep in my bones, I’m a computer nerd. I love technology, I love the internet, and I love love to talk about it.Fortnight Digital is born of these loves. A company that listens, communicates, and effectively executes requests efficiently. We don’t have a giant team, and we don’t want one. We’re lean, we’re local, and we set ourselves apart by being a company that can adapt to changes on a whim. We don’t use tech jargon because we hold a firm belief that if you can’t describe something simply, you simply don’t understand it.I started my first digital company in 2005 with Identiti Web Development (a name that I randomly picked and would forever haunt me with red squiggly underlines). In a market like Adelaide, South Australia your reputation is everything and it’s important to protect that reputation by continuing to do great work. Leading the company for over 14 years until its sale in 2018, I loved every element of growth and experience.In New York, the market is bigger and completely different but ultimately the same. Instead of having to fight for the same clients in a smaller market, the size means that your reputation is again everything to keep your head above the rest.I’m always happy to talk about how we can help.

All children are special and we help serve children who are less fortunate – children who live and grow up with a serious illness, disability or disadvantage.Variety is a charity that’s been very close to my heart for some time. I quickly found a home and a family among the fantastic members and volunteers from around the world supporting sick, disadvantaged, and underprivileged children.I became involved via the South Australian Variety Bash in 2011 dressing up as Yoshi in Variety Bash Car 123 and raising money for kids in need across South Australia. 123 raised $140,519 over the 5 years of my being involved and winning best overall participant of the event in 2016.In 2014 I increased my involvement with the organization becoming Chair of Young Variety South Australia. Young Variety SA connects and engages with young professionals from across South Australia introducing them to the fantastic work of Variety. My role formalized the corporate governance and structure and oversaw the organization’s first direct sponsorship and partnership agreements.In 2015, my role grew further with the charity to a position on the Board of Directors and overseeing the operations of the organization. In this time, Variety SA received awards for its performance, governance, revenue, and innovation, as well as its marketing and communication excellence. All incredibly proud moments for me personally and the charity.In 2018, after moving to New York and stepping away from Variety South Australia, I moved into the position of President of Variety - the Children’s Charity of New York. We help children from across New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey with assistive technology and resources, and I love my work.
