Josh Bates was born in the forestlands of New Hampshire, where the regional pastimes include chopping wood, wood chopping, and chopping the wood some more. Eventually, Josh got bored of all that chopping and started telling stories--stories around the campfire, stories through short films, and stories on stage. He left New Hampshire behind and has been living in New York City for nearly a decade, where he's a writer and creative director. He's written comedy and kids content for outlets such as Snapchat Originals, Twitch, Pokémon, and Team Whistle--and he's even penned some jokes for his comedy idols, like Sacha Baron Cohen. When he's not telling stories, you can find him surfing up and down the east coast of Cinnabar Island.
