Josh graduated from the University of Michigan in May of 2014. He was a three sport varsity athlete in high school, majored in Sports Management at Michigan, and was a field manager for the Michigan football team. After graduation, Josh worked as the Assistant Freshman Baseball Coach and was a substitute teacher at West Bloomfield High School in Michigan. Once school was out, he took a sales job in the Chicago area. After a month on the job, he decided to follow his passion and devote his life to teaching and coaching high school students.
The day after giving his two-weeks notice at his sales job, Josh spent the day with his brother, Andrew, at a concert in Chicago. Josh parted ways with Andrew after 11 pm to get together with college friends from Michigan. He went to his friends' apartment where someone supplied Adderall that was snorted prior to going to the bars.
Josh was found unresponsive on the sidewalk of a Chicago street and was brain dead by the time he arrived at the hospital. Josh died on July 21, 2014, of acute alcohol poisoning that was enhanced by the effects of snorting Adderall... he was 22.
