Josh has been a part of Cole Community Church since 1993 (when his dad, Jackson, was hired to be a part of Cole’s staff), and went up through the Cole Youth Groups along with Grace. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 2004, married Grace back in Boise that same summer, and began studying at Regent College in Vancouver, BC that fall. Naomi was born to Josh and Grace in 2007, and Josh graduated in April, 2008 with an MDiv. After moving back to Boise, Josh was hired as interim College/Young Adults Pastor in September, 2008.

Josh likes getting to know people and seeing what God is doing in their lives, playing tennis and basketball, watching almost any sport (yes, even curling), reading good books, and having discussions around cultural and theological topics. Oh yeah, and he loves spending time with his family - Grace and Naomi are two of his great joys.
