Josh has been coaching at USAEG for
1 1/2 years. He is a senior in high school this coming fall. In his free time Josh likes to relax watching TV and playing games on his PS3. On the weekends he loves spending time on his houseboat with his family and wakeboarding with friends. Josh's favorite thing about coaching here is making the little kids laugh and teaching them new skills!
