Josh Funk: Hi, my name is Josh Funk. Now, Funk is actually a more common last name than you might think. It's German for the word spark. It's similar to Black and Smith. It was used for Blacksmiths back in the day. So Black, Smith, and Funk were all last names for Blacksmiths. It also was a last name for short, annoying, energetic people. And considering no one in my family knows how to use tools, I'm pretty sure we're sparky after the latter. Not for being known for being Blacksmiths, but for being short, annoying, energetic people. And that is me, Josh Funk.
