 | Trying to find some source of Josh's original BB promotion online (photo from promotion or confirmation from Carlinho), but only find second hand information. Anywhere you can point to where I can look? 1 year(s) ago |
 | He has many personal photos of his time in Brazil:GB with Carlinho from the early 2000s on his Facebook profile. You can also find his DVD from OTM, I believe it was the original turtle guard instructional. Josh is one of the OG BB Canadians. 1 year(s) ago |
