Born to Pacey and Josephine Witter in the year 2123, Joshua was considered their "miracle child". Josh came from a family of Scientists as his mother was an exobiologist and his father was a warp propulsion expert. Because he had changed homes so many times in his childhood, Josh found it extremely difficult to continually make new friends only to lose them when he moved. He still considered it a great adventure to be the first to encounter new life and civilizations.

Josh showed a keen interest in science and technology, and has an extraordinary ability to visualize complex mathematical and engineering concepts. In a science fair competition Josh was able to produce schematics for a miniaturize version of a Starfleet communicator and devised a smaller sub dermal device. The small transmitter/receiver device could theoretically be implanted underneath the skin. That is if in theory it worked.

Technology and Science were not Josh's only interests. At age nine he began with playing the clarinet and continues to practice at least once a day. He also read many books about military tactics and history. Mostly from the middle twentieth century to the early twenty first century. After high school Josh entered into the Marine Corps. As his curiosity grew more about visiting other words and even commanding a starship someday, in 2148 Josh Witter accomplished his first step by entering into Starfleet Academy.
