Kosick started out as a freelance photographer for Poweredge and Slap skateboarding magazines and built up fame as a skateboard photographer. His photography also caught the attention of the rock band Deftones who contracted Kosick to shoot the cover art to their album Around the Fur. This cover was voted by Revolver magazine as one of the greatest metal covers ever. Kosick was later approached by the editor of Big Brother to become a photographer and later head photo editor. His work at Big Brother inspired later skate photographers, such as Jerome Loughran. He also had involvement in the creation of the Big Brother video series. Kosick's likenesses was featured on a skateboard for Birdhouse Skateboards on an Andrew Reynolds board.

Following the end of Big Brother, Kosick worked as a freelance photographer until former Big Brother editor Jeff Tremaine approached him for a role in Tremaine's upcoming TV series Jackass. Kosick is often filmed being picked on by other Jackass crew members under the auspices of a legitimate stunt, usually only a ruse set up to tease Kosick. He usually didn't tolerate many of the pranks played against him.
