He was elected to the California State Senate in November 2020 to serve the residents of SD 13 (most of San Mateo County & northern Santa Clara County.)

Prior to Full Circle Fund, Josh was the CEO of Lex Machina, the company that pioneered the category of Legal Analytics. Lex Machina started as a public interest project at Stanford Law School to bring openness and transparency to the law. It became a company end of 2010 and Josh took over mid-2011 to build a business around the data while offering free access to judges and academics. He was CEO until August of 2018, and he currently serves as Chairman and advisor for legal analytic strategies.

In Washington, D.C., Josh started a successful technology consulting firm, was one of the youngest Press Secretaries on Capitol Hill, and started his career in environmental consulting. He holds a B.A. from Williams College, an M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a J.D. from the Stanford Law School. At Stanford he co-founded the Board Fellows Program, to match students with the boards of nonprofit orgs and became a national model. He also ran a year-long initiative on technology and social change.
