Coach Josh

Coach Josh was born in Gravette, Arkansas. He instantly became a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan and moved to Texas soon after his birth. While growing up in Texas, Coach Josh loved playing all sports, but
football has always been his passion and he dreamed of becoming a high school football coach some day.

After graduating high school in 2006, Coach Josh enlisted in the Marine Corps and moved to Okinawa, Japan where he was stationed for six years. Coach Josh deployed numerous times to Afghanistan and various other countries within Southeast Asia
as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team Leader. He also worked alongside the United States Secret Service on multiple occasions while providing security for the POTUS.

In 2016, Coach Josh and his family re-located to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina where he would spend the second half of his career. He was medically retired from the Marine Corps in 2020 due to injuries
sustained in combat. He recently moved back home to Texas working as an aviation mechanic at the Kickapoo Downtown Airport and volunteers to coach for the Coyotes Youth Football team at the American Level. Coach Josh is also dad to Kannon and Landry, who are both players for the Coyotes Youth Football Team.
