Oceanic Flight 815
On board Oceanic Flight 815, Josh bumped into a pregnant girl, Claire Littleton. She dropped her luggage, so Josh picked it up for her. The two chatted briefly to each other and then Josh mentioned her pregnancy. She told him she was giving the baby up for adoption. Josh apologized, but Claire assured him she was fine. She then told him about the psychic she talked too and why she was going to Los Angeles. The two then went their separate ways. Later, as Oceanic Flight 815 was in the air, Josh was sat next to a woman, Anya. They talked about how the air steward, Cindy Chandler was flirting with another passenger, Jack Shephard. Josh then left to go to the bathroom. As he arrived at the bathroom, Cindy announced that people should put their seatbelts on. But, Josh ignored it, as he found a toilet, Charlotte quickly fell out of the room. She apologised and then left. As the turbulence got stronger and stronger, Josh sat back down in a seat. The plane then crashed. ("A New Beginning, Part 1")

Days 1–44 (Season 1)
As Flight Oceanic Flight 815 was flying over The Island, the plane crashed, and part of the fuselage ripped off as the plane hurtled to the ground, causing 15 people, including Josh to be separated from the main section of the fuselage and tail section.

Josh woke up at the crash site and saw everyone running and screaming. After regaining his vision he noticed a dark haired woman, Charlotte, and he helped her escape from the wreckage above her that was about to fall on top of her. After he saved her, she was angry they left a man to die. Later that night, as the group gets into groups, Josh joined the food group along with Charlotte and Alex. Even later, Josh was among the survivors as they heard the monster in the jungle.

In the morning, whilst all gathered around in a big circle, Josh took charge and told the groups that they need to start doing the jobs. He, Charlotte and Alex went searching the jungle for food. Whilst searching for food, Josh found a baton rested on the ground inside a bamboo grove, but Charlotte took it off of him. When they got out of the bamboo, Josh hid with Charlotte and Alex when they heard the noises of the monster. Later they all ran back towards camp after Alex witnessed the pilot's death.
