Josh Kaufman Wins “The Voice” Sarasota-born Josh Kaufman’s dream of earning a living as a musician became real when he won season six of NBC’s talent show “The Voice.” Parents Mark and Doris Kaufman (Mark Kaufman Roofing in North Port) were in California to watch the final show. The
next day, Mark helped his daughter in-law, Jennifer Myer, get back home to Indianapolis with Josh and Jennifer’s three children, aged six, four and two. Josh flew to New York for multiple appearances. Doris shared her thoughts about Josh’s win: “We just want to say that we are extremely proud of Josh. Over the years, he has had a tremendous passion for music whether it was singing, playing his guitar or keyboard or writing his own songs. This opportunity with The Voice was what he called his own personal “One More Try” to make it in the music industry. This has called for a lot of practice and time away from his family. He wanted to provide a better life for them and being “The Voice” is now giving him that opportunity. It was an awesome and overwhelming moment when they called out his name as winner. We are so thankful because not only does he have a great talent to showcase and share with the world but he is a good, upright man that loves his family and has a lot to offer. We wish him much success doing what he loves to do. We also want to thank everyone that has surrounded him with love and voted to put him at the top.” From Doris Kaufman’s Facebook page: friends and family gather at Bogey’s in Venice to celebrate Josh Kaufman’s win in season six of “The Voice.”
