Meet Josh Bowles
Meet Josh Bowles, one of the engineers of the new GZL truck campers! Josh enjoys working at EarthCruiser because he has the freedom to express his personality through his work. He also likes how everyone here works as a team! Josh hopes to see the industry really take off in Central Oregon as there are many opportunities for backcountry exploration in an EarthCruiser. He hopes to gain experience and overlanding knowledge just as fast as the company is growing!
Josh was born in Redmond, Oregon, but spent his high school years in a town called Joshua, Texas just south of Fort Worth. After graduation in 2001, he moved back to Oregon where he has been ever since. Outside of work, Josh enjoys playing basketball regularly, golf when he can, attempting to accomplish his honey-do list at home, hunting in the Fall, and camping every chance he gets during the Summer with his family. Josh and his wife would like to visit Europe soon; spend some time in Germany, then continue to France, Spain, and eventually make it down to Italy. His dream vehicle would be a Ford F-350, King Ranch Edition, Power-stroke diesel, equipped with a GZL of course!
