Bio

A homeschooled student, Josiah honed his skills playing AAU basketball for the West Michigan Hornets. His early career was defined by success; he was a key member of a state championship team at the JV level and finished as a state runner-up during his varsity years. A commanding presence in the post, Josiah is confident in his ability to excel in the paint, both offensively and defensively.

Josiah came to MCC largely due to the encouragement of men’s basketball head coach Zach Ingles. He appreciates the college's small-town feel and the friendly nature of the staff and community. On the court, he feeds off the shared desire to win from both his teammates and the coaching staff, which helps fuel his own competitive drive. Josiah is studying business.
