Bio 

Josh has many places that he calls “home.” He grew up in Ohio, went to college in Florida, and now loves to be known as a “West Michigander.” He graduated from Southeastern University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Church Ministries and a minor in Youth & Family Ministry. Josh really enjoys a good cup of coffee, a Chipotle bowl, and watching College Football with his family. In working with the Church, teaching in the classroom, and helping with local organizations, Josh is passionate about helping students navigate challenges in life and helping them to step into their unique purpose in life. 

Advice 

When trying to find what University is best for you, don’t settle for what is convenient or familiar. Look at every college possible that intrigues you, big, small, private, public, or in a location that you want to visit. Where you go to college will be a formative time in your life, and knowing your options will help you be prepared to make the most of this season in your life!  

Favorite Spots on Campus 

Peet’s Coffee! More than likely, I will be getting an afternoon coffee from Peet’s and will be on my computer answering emails. If you ever see me grabbing a coffee, feel free to come over and chat. I love a good conversation and getting to know people.
