Born in Daytona Beach, Florida, Joshua Abblett moved to Upstate South Carolina (Inman) at the age of 10, shortly after enduring the intense hurricane season in Florida, which included Category 5 and Category 4 hurricanes such as Hurricane Charley. He graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Political Science and Economics and went on to work in healthcare as a hospice patient care representative, serving both in South Carolina and Colorado for various agencies. Joshua eventually shifted his focus to his health and legal battles, while maintaining his passion for civil liberties, history, and uncovering the mysteries of the "unknown." His greatest passion, however, is his family—his wife, Amber, and their three children, Mauricio, Angelo, and James. In his free time, Joshua enjoys fishing, hiking, and appreciating the beauty of nature with his family. He is also a trumpet player and a practitioner of Nihon Goshin Aikido. With a unique perspective and a strong sense of individuality, he describes himself as "the whitest black sheep you'll know."
