In addition to his accomplishments as a scholar-athlete Josh has always had a deep commitment to helping others through community service work. While in high school Josh helped found the Hand Up Youth Food Pantry an organization that helps feed San Diego County residents that are in dire need of emergency food. Notwithstanding the time demands associated with being a scholar-athlete Josh has always continued to find time to perform volunteer work. It is this deep sense of compassion for others and his willingness to reach out to those who are not capable of providing for themselves that sets Josh apart from others. God places the hungry and disenfranchised in this world to see if those who are more fortunate than they are will be willing to extend a helping hand. Josh has responded to God's request and these are the acts of human kindness that his coaches are most proud of. For an example of Josh's concern for others and one of his many acts of kindness click on the following link http://youtu.be/HjyttiwMuiU .
