I’m Josh and Here’s My Story…Before, During, and After the Excessive Sweating…

I was born on September 17, 1980 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. No sign of excessive sweating (according to my parents). Diehard Steelers fan (in case you wondering).

I am the second of four kids. My sister, Jenny is the oldest, Chris or “Toph” is third, and Daniel or “D” is the baby of the group.

We lived in Brooklyn, NY until the late 1980’s when my parents relocated us to the suburbs of Baltimore (still no excessive sweating).

I graduated from high school in 1998. The following fall I was enrolled in the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland at College Park (still no excessive sweat!).

Midway through my college career, I began noticing heavy underarm perspiration.
To be honest, I was quite freaked out about it.

I couldn’t figure out why this was happening to me! I thought it may be due to some recreational drugs which I happened to be experimenting with ;-).

So I stopped experimenting. Still had profuse underarm perspiration!

It was then that I discovered my brother had the same excessive sweating problem! Except he not only had sweaty underarms, but also sweaty palms. His situation was even worse than mine.

This turned out to be a huge turning point for both of us. I felt a lot of sympathy for my brother, especially because of the sweaty palms. But the fact that he was suffering from excessive sweating somehow made me feel good.

At first I felt guilty for feeling good about my brother’s misfortune. But then it dawned on me…

The reason I felt good was because I now had someone to confide in. Someone who understood what it was like to sweat like this. And as bad as this sounds, someone else who was miserable with me…(sorry Toph)

Anyways, sorry for getting side tracked.

I ended up studying Psychology at UMD because I was drawn to it for some reason. It turned out being another twist of fate.

Some principles of human psychology that interested me lead me to study with a Master Hypnotist and NLP Practitioner. The skills I developed from those invaluable sessions form the infrastructure of Mechanic Method Mind.

Unfortunately, an undergrad psychology degree is only slightly more lucrative than a high school diploma. So I got into internet business and sales, which is what I do now. And I love every minute of it.

My brother and I have been researching extensively for years into the causes of excessive sweating, how to prevent it from happening, and how to cure hyperhidrosis once it manifests.

In my spare time, I obviously run this website with my brother. We also have a few other businesses that we run. And I like martial arts and NFL football.

I have an infant daughter, Averie or Avie for short. She is the light of my life. PICTURE COMING SOON!

Parenthood (in case you don’t know) is everything you always hear about and more. The truth is that you will never understand the depth of human emotions (love in particular) until it becomes a reality.

Everything I do has her in mind. I’m praying she doesn’t have to experience excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis (It obviously runs in the family)…

Me and Toph started this website after suffering from excessive sweating for years and having an epiphany at our sister’s wedding (STORY COMING SOON). Since then, we have helped scores of people rid themselves of excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis.

To all of our loyal readers: I would like to extend my gratitude for your support. We love you and we couldn’t do this without you. It is my sincere wish and confident belief that you’ll overcome excessive sweating.
