Josh has been a part of the Fargo Force organization since 2018 as a Founder and the Director of the Cullen Force Academy. He has worked with local players throughout their entire hockey development and has instilled a higher standard of hockey in the community. From early age fundamentals to advanced skill and technical training, Josh brings the same infectious enthusiasm and structure to fully develop players to their potential. He brings players into a new way of thinking about the game of hockey whether he is working with termites or NHL players.
As Skills Development Coach for the Force, Josh will be spending time with players to improve their individual skills and processing of the game of hockey. This will in turn help the team, but more importantly, help the individual player reach their potential as an athlete. Josh helps players understand where their strengths lie and how to make the most of those strengths. He also helps players identify their weaknesses and gives them practical ways on how to correct the weakness. 
Outside of the rink, Josh enjoys spending time with his wife and two children. He involves his family in the local community and loves most the time he gets to spend with his children on the ice.
