Josh Pugh is the founder and CEO of America Josh, the largest community for Australians living in the United States — a network of more than 75,000 members across all 50 states, grown in part through the acquisition of the Australians in the USA and Aussies International communities. Originally from South Australia, Josh moved to New York in 2017 and became a US citizen in October 2025 — so the advice he publishes comes from having personally navigated the whole journey, from the E-3 visa to citizenship. Through America Josh he has written hundreds of practical, first-hand guides on moving to and living in the US: visas and immigration, taxes, healthcare, banking, housing and settling into life in New York City. Josh is also President of Variety – the Children's Charity of New York and Founder & CEO of Fortnight Digital. He lives in the New York area with his wife Stacey and their two sons, Danny and Liam.
