About Me

I spend my days at betaworks. In the evenings my wife and I are bossed around by our two lovely daughters.

For work-related matters, email me at josh at betaworks. For personal stuff, email me at josh at [my last name].net

Media and Links

(While there are a few pictures of my kids here, essentially those taken and posted directly from my phone, most of the good photos and videos of my kids appear only on idbit.)

Most of my older pictures (some going back decades) are here: Josh Auerbach's Grove Street albums, with a few at media.auerbach.net. More recently, I've started posting photos to my photostream at Flickr.

For more information on my professional life, see my LinkedIn profile. You can also find me on Facebook.

If you're looking for Steve Auerbach (my dad), you'll find him at Comet Sightings.

Other people to whom I'm related include the actress Bonnie Swencionis, obesity and hypnobirthing expert Charles Swencionis, counselor and educator Elly Darwin, and PR and marketing expert Alex Auerbach.
