About Josh
Josh is a graduate of Central Connecticut State University. After earning his degree in business and graphic design, he discovered his true passions for photography, design, and travel. In 2017, he embarked on an adventure to Madagascar, partnering with the University of South Africa, Madagascar Research and Conservation Institute, and the Indian Ocean Conservation Institute to document reef conservation efforts alongside a team of international expert divers. This experience solidified his desire to merge his passions and establish a small business.
In 2018, a life-altering event unfolded when Josh found a blood cousin through a DNA test with 23 & Me. Their families had no knowledge of each other, and the discovery ignited a shared curiosity to unravel their heritage. Photos became crucial in piecing together their family history, prompting Josh to leave his job at a travel agency and found Central Connecticut Scanning (CCS) to cater to those interested in preserving their own media.
