Josh Stuart-Shor is an O2X Lead Instructor. As a member of O2X, Josh’s focus is ensuring that the needs of all our tactical athletes and organizations are met through regular engagement and face to face coordination. Prior to O2X, Josh served in the United States Army, first as an Infantry Officer in the 82nd Airborne Division and then as a Green Beret in the 3rd Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, NC. His time in the military spanned multiple combat deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, and Central Asia. His service includes several combat awards and decorations.
From 2015 to 2016, Josh spent much of his on-duty time recovering from injuries sustained overseas at his unit's Tactical Human Optimization Rapid Rehabilitation & Reconditioning Program (THOR3). It was here that Josh found his passion not just for maximizing his own performance, but helping others get back into the fight both physically and mentally.
After almost a decade in the United States Army, Josh decided to leave the Army in pursuit of new opportunities. In addition to his passion for working with Tactical Athletes, Josh works as a Firefighter for a major Metropolitan department and holds a M.A. from the University of Massachusetts at Boston. He resides in Boston, MA with his wife, Jessica, their four children, Camden, Abigail, Harrison and Anne and their dog Charlie. They spend their free time skiing, hiking, and fly-fishing in the mountains of Vermont.
