I’m Josh Pratchard. Faith, family, travel, and time outdoors are what I care about most, and this site is where I write about them.
I live in the East Bay with my wife and our two children. I’m a man of faith, and I’m a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, which taught me discipline, loyalty, and the value of showing up for the people who count on you.
When I’m not with family, you’ll usually find me on the golf course or somewhere outdoors: snowboarding, rafting a river, backpacking, or out on the water.
In 2013 I started Second Chance Fields, a nonprofit that repaired athletic fields at public high schools in underserved communities. It was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done, and it taught me how much a little care and effort can mean to a young person.
Thanks for stopping by. Pick a page from the menu to see what I’m up to.
