Josh Hendrickson recently completed his B.A. in Geography and Environmental Studies at UCCS and is continuing on in the graduate program there. Josh grew up in Iowa and moved to Colorado Springs after falling in love with the Garden of the Gods. He loves food of all kinds, and it was this passion for different cultural foods and the reasons that people eat the things they do that initially sparked his interest in geography. His graduate work plans to focus on using GIS to help understand issues of food sustainability and security. When Josh isn't working or studying, he is busy exploring the quality ingredients at one of the local farmer's markets, cooking, reading, or hiking the trails around Colorado Springs with his partner and their two dogs (a Korean Jindo named Nikko and an Akita / Aussie mix named Zephrum.)
