Josh Tostlebe, (Remote) Developer. Started October 14th.

Josh grew up in Ankeny, Iowa and received his BS in Management Information Systems from Iowa State University.  He recently moved to Pensacola, FL to be with his wife, Kristin, who is a LT in the Air Force and is currently in flight school to become a CSO (Combat Systems Officer).  Previous to Florida he was living in Ames, IA and was a windows application developer for the Iowa Department of Transportation.  Josh’s hobbies include cooking, running, hiking, biking, and now the beach.  I guess that is a given being down in Florida now!  He’s also a fan of beer…  So if anyone else is, he would love some tips and company to visit some local breweries the next time he’s in Albany!
