Josh is a Cherokee Assistant Professor that grew up in the small town Weleetka, Oklahoma. He decided to go back to college after working construction a few years. He started his post-secondary education at Tulsa Community College and enjoyed biology so much he decided to major in it. He received his BS in biological sciences from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater with a minor in microbiology. While in Stillwater, he worked in two Botany labs as an undergraduate researcher and was awarded the Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship. He enjoyed plant genetics so much that he decided to pursue a MS in Botany. While fulfilling the MS requirements, he was active in OK-LSAMP (Oklahoma Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation), helped charter the SACNAS (Society for Advancement Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science) chapter, and was awarded the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. He decided to focus his PhD research on airborne fungi, as he has always been interested in the microscopic world. He served at Tabor College in Kansas for four years, having chaired the science and mathematics department for two of the years. He is currently a faculty in biology at LeTourneau University and has been active in both the discovery and bioinformatics portions of the SEA-Phage program.
