25 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SECURITY GUARD Josh Naranjo
1. Born and raised in New Jersey "woah, livin' on a prayer!"
2. As a kid I really didn't like wearing glasses, kinda ironic because a lot of my family members are opticians.
3. I looked as a kid like Fred Savage of the Wonder Years show and had a huge crush on Winnie (Danica McKellar)
4. I have two younger brothers Gabriel and Jordan.
5. I was born left handed, but was taught growing up to be right handed, to this day I eat with my left, shoot pool with my left and write with both.
6. After high school I became an Ohio State Buckeye (Brian L. loves that part of me), since I was 14 I dreamed of going to the school there. GO BUCKEYES! O-H. . you say. . . I-O
7. My first job was working at a Pharmacy as clerk then I became a delivery driver for them. . . Would that have made me a drug delivery guy technically?
8. One of the best events with BSB was New Years Eve in Times Square. I watched the ball drop my entire life
on TV, but never thought I would be there and in the middle of it!
9. Since the 4th grade I started playing musical instruments and by high school I took up more seriously and wanted to become a professional tuba player (go ahead get your laughs out now.) It got me a scholarship to get me
into Ohio State.
10. I met my mentor and friend John "Q" Elgani while I working at Nationwide Area in Columbus.
11. My favorite milkshake is Wendy's Chocolate Frosty.
12. My first concert I ever attended was AC/DC and got the lucky spot of in front of speakers. . .I couldn't hear for three days afterward.
13. My second concert was BSB's The Black and Blue tour! I was 19 years old working in the pit. Go figure I would end up working for them as a bodyguard.
14. My favorite breakfast food is Bagels. If you ever visited NY/NJ you know we are proud of them.
15. As a kid I used to sneak away the bottle of maple syrup and eat it (just a good couple squeezes.) Does that make me part Canadian?

most recently
17. In 1998, I got to be in the New York Yankees Ticker Taper Parade on a float with the infield team, which should have been the highlight, but I think yelling for Mayor Rudy Giuliani and him coming over to sign my shirt topped it.
18. Sometimes I tell fans at meet n greet that Big Drew is my dad and he needs a hug. Best is when they actually hug him and they find out he isn't my dad.
19. Wondering if you are still reading this. . .
20. My first car was a Volkswagen Passat, five days later I lost the engine and got a Ford Mustang.
