PAINTBALL
Silverman contributed articles, opinion columns, event coverage, photography and reviews for practically every paintball publication in which has existed in the paintball world, in addition to reviews on firearms and feature articles for magazines like HuntX3 Magazine and websites including Gunblog.com and FirearmsTalk.com. Featured columns Josh has penned include "The Bottom Line", an opinion column for Paintball Sports Magazine, "Promoter Diaries" for Paintball Games International and, most recently, "The Good News" for PaintballX3 Magazine. When not writing about and taking pictures of paintball, Josh has done everything from working at local paintball parks and pro-shops to helping promote one of the largest paintball tournament series in the world, the CFOA, during its heyday in the early-to-mid 2000's, and working as a marketing, writing, photography and public relations consultant and manager for various companies throughout the paintball industry.

After playing paintball for the first time near Leesburg, Virginia in the early nineties and immediately falling in love with the game, Josh has been writing professionally since the mid-nineties, when some of his earliest articles were published in the pages of Action Pursuit Games Magazine and Paintball News, along with sketches in PCRI (Paintball Consumer Reports International). Before long, writing was joined by photography and his professional journalism career was born! By 2000, Josh was on staff as the Assistant Editor of Paintball 2Xtremes Magazine, a position he held for several years before joining Paintball Games International as Associate Editor. Silverman held the Associate Editor position at Paintball Games International (PGi) Magazine until the magazine was shuttered during the world's economic down-turn. Silverman also contributed to practically every paintball magazine printed, from Paintball Magazine and Crossfire Paintball Magazine to Splat Magazine, Paintabll Sports Magazine, What Paintball Gear? Magazine (United Kingdom), Facefull Magazine (France) and others with both words and pictures. After the closure of PGi Magazine, Silverman joined the staff of new digital magazine, PaintballX3, as Associate Editor. Now, Silverman works as the Feature Writer for Paintball.Media, the most widely-read digital magazine of paintball sports in the world and the only regularly printed paintball magazine left in the world and enjoys sporadic work as a firearms and outdoors writer with freelance contributions published on such sites as Guns.com.
