Hey everyone! Well I figure since we will all be meeting in about 3 weeks, and I just found out I'm going to be a team leader for you wonderful people, I should introduce myself. Names usually help.. My name is Josh,and well, most people call me Josh, but I've been known to go by about a million and one nicknames. I live in Chesapeake, Va ( did I see one of y'all was from Mechanicsville?), have lived here nearly my entire life, with the exception of my first 6 months in life.

                        I don't currently attend any college, nor do I have plans to. I AM however applying for the IhopU Forerunner School of Ministry for the Spring 2012 semester, which I am incredibly stoked about. I'm working full-time at one of the many shipyards in this area, but do nothing more than sit behind a desk all day, enter some numbers, and file paperwork. It's not the most glamourous job, but it puts money in the bank!

               What do I like to do in my free time? Well a smaller answer would probably be what DON'T I enjoy doing in my free time! Like anyone raised in this area, I LOVE going to the beach, and then complaining how gross our water is, only to get in it 5 minutes later! I love playing Ultimate Frisbee, that's my sport of choice now that I have "retired" from cheerleading. I also love to sit in coffee shops,restaurants,bookstores,malls, and pretty much anywhere else there is room to sit, and talk about God for hours on end.

            I have been on a few missions trips before, one of which we traveled along the east coast for 10 days spreading the gospel, one was 10 days evangelizing in schools in Brazil, and then 3 months working in Brazil with AIM this past fall.

I am STOKED to get to know each of you, and live in community, and experience God with you! If y'all have any questions for me, don't hesitate to ask. God is gonna do some incredible stuff IN and THROUGH each of you, and I'm excited to see how it all goes down :)

Oh and if you want to add me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1608872943, theres the link to my account. You should see a picture of me reaching towards a couple of monkies if I did that right!

PS< Usually I would put a picture or two BUT.. all the pictures I had were on my old laptop which gave out on me.. Sadness :( but there are plenty on facebook ;)
