About Josh Saltmarsh:

Curls out of:  Broomstones Curling Club

Fred is a past president of Broomstones. 

 

Hobbies: Skiing, bicycling

 

Curling goal: "My curling goal is to help the sport grow dramatically in the U.S. particularly in the northeast. I'd like to see a junior team from our club win an Olympic medal some day."

 

Curling start: "I got started in curling soon after my wife and I moved from New York to Boston and bought a house a mile from Broomstones. At the time, we'd never heard of the sport. Soon the club became an extension of our house and our lives."
