About Josh

I’m a novelist, screenwriter, journalist, and creative consultant. I grew up in Aspen, Colorado, and studied Anthropology and Photography at Princeton. After college, I lived in Europe, Asia, and Australia. While in Thailand, I wrote my first screenplay—which led me to Hollywood.

The early daysOn the rockHBO's RomeOn location

Over the years I’ve developed projects ranging from HBO’s Rome to historical work for National Geographic and CGI animated films for Sony. My novels Echelon and Empyre explore the intersection of technology, espionage, and geopolitics, and my newest book, End Game, looks at the gamification of modern intelligence.

When I’m not at my desk, I’m out on the trails as an ultrarunner and photographer. Long days outside bring out my best ideas! I live in Santa Barbara, California, with my wonderful wife and two great kids.
