Josh played baseball in Florida where he excelled prior to moving to Vienna as a 12 year-old.  He played for the Rebels in Vienna Little League and was an all-star.  He joined the Vienna Mustangs as a 13 year old and has played the past few summers for the Vienna Mustangs and also played one summer for the Harris Rangers.

At Madison Josh starred for the JV Warhawks as a freshman and then became a Varsity Warhawk as a sophomore.  Josh pitched well for the Warhawks as a sophomore.  Last season Josh had an excellent Junior season as he was a key member of the  Warhawks pitching staff earning second team All-District.  Josh was the winning pitcher in the Northern Regional Championship game in the Warhawks march to the State Championship and undefeated season.  Josh has been a football standout at Madison also.

Josh was named first team All-District and All-Region this 2003 season.

Joshua's thoughts on the Season: "We will do what it takes to get where we want to go."

Coach Gjormand on Josh: "Josh returns for his senior year with great expectations.  He has worked extremely hard in the off-season and takes over the leadership reins along with his senior teammates.  Josh will lead a young but talented staff on the mound.  After finishing his junior season with a 0.28 ERA, he is unquestionably one of the top pitchers in the region and will be a key ingredient to take us back to Richmond.  He will play first base, left field or DH when not pitching. I expect great things from Josh at the plate and look for him to drive in a lot of runs."
