Josh helped launch digital media business ventures at NBC News, Time Warner, and spent five years at Columbia University, where he founded and directed The Center for New Media, an education and research center focused on new forms of media, communication and teaching, funded by many of the world's largest media and technology companies. Before launching Sahale Snacks, Josh was CEO and founder of Blockbuy.com, a venture capital-backed Internet company. Over the span of their 20+-year friendship, Edmond and Josh' both outdoor enthusiasts' have been together on many climbing adventures throughout the West. It was on a climb up Mt. Rainier in August 2003 that the two friends hatched the idea for Sahale Snacks, with the goal of providing healthy and extraordinarily great tasting food that could travel anywhere. Today Edmond and Josh live with their families in the Seattle area and still, occasionally, find time to climb mountains.
