Bio
Josh began his career in emergency services during his senior year of high school after a tornado struck his hometown. He volunteered with the American Red Cross and joined a local volunteer fire department to assist with disaster cleanup efforts. That summer, he attended the Arkansas Fire Training Academy where he earned his EMT certification before enrolling at Marion Military Institute (MMI) in Alabama. 

While pursuing his Associate of Science at MMI, Josh took night classes at the Alabama Fire College and earned his Advanced EMT license. During this time, he also obtained his volunteer firefighter, hazmat, and emergency services instructor I certification. Following graduation, he returned to Arkansas to complete an Associate of Applied Science in Paramedicine at Arkansas State University. 

Currently, Josh resides in Tuscaloosa as a full-time Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Alabama. He aspires to attend medical school and specialize in aerospace medicine, combining his passions for aviation and human health in extreme environments. 

In his free time Josh enjoys flying his Cessna 172 and hanging out with his fraternity brothers.
