Josh graduated from West De Pere High School and earned a master’s degree in finance at Lakeland College. Throughout Josh’s life, he has spent his career working at Chase Bank where he found a passion for coaching, mentoring, and motivating others. Josh also had a great passion for travel. Over the past couple of years, Josh developed a love for going on cruises. He also enjoyed visiting his friends in places all over the country. However, above all that, nothing brought Josh more happiness in life than his family.
