JOSH HOFFMAN

A northern-California native, Josh attended the University of California, San Diego, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies and Planning with a minor in Literature in 2002. Most recently in 2005, he graduated from the Newschool of Architecture and Design, receiving a Masters degree in Architecture. As a veteran of several Oakland A’s spring trainings, Josh now holds down the hot-corner for the Studio E softball team while working on completing the requirements for the Intern Development Program while waiting for his call-up to the show.

When not scouring local swap meets and thrift stores for vintage vinyl or getting lost in the jukeboxes of San Diego's finest dives, Josh's list of patron causes includes the renovation of a 1928 craftsman home in the San Diego neighborhood of Stockton, the restoration and upkeep on a pair of 1960’s Fords, learning the art of tug-o-war with Buckminster & Penelope - his Boston Terrier puppies, and attempting to channel the guitar stylings of Grant Green, Brian Jones, and Frank Zappa into a coherent sonic language. All are works in progress.
