Life with Josh - Josh Spaulding’s Personal Blog

Hi, my name is Josh Spaulding and this is my personal blog. I’m just a normal 28 y.o. guy who’s had a somewhat interesting life so far, serving overseas (Germany and Iraq) for 5 years in the U.S. Army and running my own online business during and after.

I created this blog to document my random musings on life in general.

For those bored enough to be interested; here is a quick, short bio:

I was the 4th of 6 children of my parents, Glenn and Susan Spaulding. I was born and raised in Washington, Indiana… a small town in southern Indiana.

I got into some trouble at the age of 18, which left a nasty Felony on my record (Battery resulting in serious bodily injury.) I worked as a machine operator at a Wood Factory in Jasper, Indiana for several years before becoming tired of factory work.

I then decided to join the Army at the age of 22 y.o.

I attended Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training at For Sill, Oklahoma and was stationed in Babenhausen, Germany in July of 2002.

In Feb. 2003 I deployed with my unit to Iraq for the initial invasion, which was later coined “Operation Iraqi Freedom.”

A year later I returned back to Babenhausen, did some traveling around Europe and in June of 2004 met my beautiful wife, Claudia (left.)

In November of 2004 our good friend Rolf Hohmann taught me how to create a Website, which started my long-time obsession with Internet Marketing, my current profession.

Between then and May 2007 I went from the rank of Private to Sergeant, but we endured the typical, stressful Army life, as I left for months at a time to train and constantly had the worries of being deployed back to Iraq… Luckily I never deployed a second time!

In February of 2007 our son, Aaron was born (right) and he’s been the center of our attention ever since.

In May of 2007 I finished my 5-year contract with the Army and we moved to Evansville, IN. It was boring, so exactly 1 year later we moved to Indianapolis, IN where we currently reside

I now spend my time with Claudia and Aaron, running my online business, maintaining a physically and mentally fit lifestyle and enjoying life in general!
