Joshua Dziabiak

Joshua Dziabiak is an American entrepreneur and business executive. He was born in Freedom, Pennsylvania in 1987 and lived on a farm where his parents ran their own septic-cleaning business. When he was 12, his parents bought a computer, and he begged his parents to get Internet access after one of his friends asked him if he had a website. After the ninth grade, he turned to home schooling to teach himself how to use CD ROMs. This was the height of his first business venture.
