He began working at an afterschool care and holiday programme in 2011 and enjoyed it so much that he decided to pursue a full-time career that involved working with children. A stint spent at Outward Bound in 2013 helped him realise what an impact time spent in nature can make, so he tries to take the tamariki on bush walks as often as possible. The children enjoy laughing at his muddy bottom whenever he slips over. He has also just built a go-kart with the 2-year-olds at work - probably the first of many to come! In his spare time, Joseph enjoys trail running, playing drums, photography and writing for his music blog.
