He is a graduate of Nevada Union High School, and plays oboe, bassoon, saxophone, and piano.  Josh will be attending Cal Poly Humboldt to study biochemistry with a minor in music.  Although music is not his major, he intends to continue through school and community ensembles, teaching private students, and seeking more performing opportunities.  Eventually, he intends to teach music as a volunteer and/or high school music educator so he can spread his passion for classical music to young musicians and strengthen the community of musicians.
