“In the warmer months, I can be found walking the gravel roads adjacent to the golden grain fields in sunny Eston; winter months force me to use the treadmill. A walk can really clear the mind but, more importantly, it affords a great opportunity to commune with God. I also enjoy reading highly recommended books and reminiscing about the days when I was not so athletically challenged. I might say that my passion is chocolate, but it really is my wife, Shelly, and my two children, Katie and Josh. It is an honour to be serving the Lord as the fifth president of Eston College.”

“The New Testament is like a book where the author is also the main character. As we study the Bible together, we meet the God who made the universe in the face of Jesus Christ, the God-Man. But the best part of this story is that we are all part of it, for the Spirit of the same God dwells in each Christian, empowering them to act out their role in this grand story.” Josh loves computers, video games, juggling, magic, ultimate frisbee, disc golf, and his wife Laura.
