My name is Josh and I'm from Maui, Hawaii. I first got into basketball by watching the NBA. After the NBA season was over I joined the WNBA because it continues the game throughout the season. My favorite WNBA star is Diana Taurasi - therefore I quickly became a Mercury fan after only a few months of watching all other teams. In the NBA I was originally a Bulls can because I was born in Chicago... but I love to watch any underdog come up from behind and make a championship.

Another hobby of mine is to make techno music. I've been doing that for a few years now and I love it. Unlike most DJs, the way I make techno is making audio loops and playing piano synthesizers on a computer program called Logic Pro. I love doing it and sometimes sell my stuff on iTunes.

I love to read books, one of my favorites are al the James Bond books. Books help pass the time and so, they are one of my favorite things in the world.

Favorite current Mercury player and why:
Diana Taurasi - she scores more, is more emotional, and more defensive than another player I have seen before in the WNBA.
