Josh Burns was born and raised in Montana, where hiking, hunting, and all things nature was his forte. With 24 years of military background, 8 of which were actively served with the National Guard, Josh traveled quite a bit. It wasn’t until September of 2010 that Josh had made the long term move to the south, when he was offered a job at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Starting out in Diamondhead, MS, Josh met his wife Felicia, a Springfield native. The couple settled in Ponchatoula in 2011, where they still reside today. The Burns have three children; Emily Johnson, Jonathan Johnson, and Aiden Burns.
