Josh was extremely personable and relatable to our multifaceted and cross-sectional membership! His interaction with the attendees before the meeting, interaction during the presentation, and engagement after the adjournment garnered high praise from participants! Though the foundational topic was swimming, his presentation for achievement crossed all boundaries and gave our participants something to take away. We appreciated working with Josh!
