Uploads of fun is a family of 4 originally from Cleveland, OH.  Josh (dad), Rachel (mom), and their two boys, Jackson and Calvin, have one goal - to show the world kindness through laughter.  

Launched in 2019, the channel started as a way for Josh to connect with his boys.  But after the first video, Josh knew it could develop into something great. Videos started with popular challenges and games, but the boys’ natural bent toward comedy led the channel to quickly expand in some new directions.  Rachmaninoff & Jerry, Little Bob Ross, What Marco Says, and Bangs & Booms are just a few examples of the 100% original content UOF is creating together. Because of his background in creative services, Josh has been able to give the channel a unique look and feel that’s reflective of their personalities.  Their tagline - fun is a language we all speak - comes directly from their desire to build a community for all people through laughter.

Josh was born and raised in Cleveland, OH.  He spent most of his teens playing in bands and hanging out with the church youth group.  Around 2000, Josh started designing album art and graphics for his band and that ultimately led him to a career in the creative industry.  Today, Josh is the Creative Director in a digital marketing agency. He still loves music and often plays guitar at home, even in some of the videos.  

Josh met Rachel in 2002, and they were married in 2005.  Jackson came 3 years later in 2008 and Calvin followed in 2011.  Jackson is an extremely talented artist and spends a lot of his free time drawing and writing stories.  He loves swimming, eating good food, and playing with the little kids in the church nursery. Calvin is the family jokester and prankster.  He loves soccer, video games, and YouTube. If it was up to him, he would eat nothing but chicken & french fries for the rest of his life.  

Rachel is the behind-the-scenes support of UOF, often filming and helping put finishing touches on scripts and ideas.  She doesn’t have much interest in appearing in the videos herself, but loves to watch her family do what they love. Rachel’s spent most of her career in vendor and risk management, and is a self-proclaimed booknerd.  

I'll never forget the sense of wholeness I felt when I finally realized what in fact I really was: not just a writer or a language buff or a student of human development or a telecommunicator, but I was someone who could use every talent that had ever been given to me in the service of children and their families. - Fred Rodgers
