★ ABOUT THE PRESENTER

After becoming a father, Josh was inspired to found the Annabelle & Aiden children’s book series, dedicated to inspiring a new generation of scientists, thinkers, and all-around adventurers. The first book, on evolution, was banned by Christian World News, and went on to become a #1 Bestseller on Amazon. Since it launched in late-2016, the 7-book series has won various awards, raised over $100,000 on Kickstarter, and has sold over 50,000 copies.

Josh has worked as a trademark and copyright attorney at record labels, firms, and now at the U.S. Trademark Office. Holds a BA in Philosophy, and a Juris Doctorate from Emory University's School of Law. When he is not wearing his lawyer hat or playing drums, Josh is taking in all the science & philosophy podcasts and books he can, and dreaming up whimsical ideas for future children's stories that will both entertain and inform. Josh lives in New Jersey with his wife Leah, and three children, Annabelle, Aiden, & Liam. Learn more: www.AnnabelleAndAiden.com
