In 2010, Josh wore a partially-eaten gingerbread man costume to a Halloween party to make his friends laugh.

A couple years later, his girlfriend (now wife) Ashley suggested he dress as the leg lamp from the movie “A Christmas Story.” A photo of that costume went viral. He’s been dressing up every Halloween since in costumes made possible by the unique shape of his body, and each year his one-legged costumes receive hundreds of millions of impressions around the world. They have been featured on television shows like ESPN, Good Morning America, and The Today Show, as well as the front pages of Buzzfeed, Yahoo!, AOL, and countless other media outlets.
