Joshua was born on November
24th, 1980 in Charleston S.C. at the age of one his parents packed the family
up and moved to Anchorage, AK. He was there until he was 13 and then moved to
Littleton, CO where he attended the now infamous Columbine High School which
is the inspiration for the song "columbine". Joshua was saved at 12 and since
then has
experienced many tough things in life. He was called to the ministry
at age 17 and shortly after his 18th birthday became the youth/music minister
at Virginia Avenue Baptist Church.
there he began
working to bring
together the
first band that he
would be lead
singer, which
resulted in the
band overflow.
after much acclaim
overflow picked up
a new member and
changed the name
to narrow road
which went on to
be better known than
most expected. He has been in numerous bands, first as a
bass guitar player and then a rhythm guitar player and finally a singer.
in Oklahoma he met and married the love of his life, Becky. They
have a wonderful daughter named Taylor,
and a son named
preston. they
Later moved to Utah where Joshua
became the Worship leader at Layton Hills Baptist Church. He met
some guys at a youth event that he was
beginning called J.A.M.(jesus
and me) Session, and thus
Stain Glass Hero Was Born.
after a year Stain
Glass hero had
already made a
very good name in
the Christian
music community in
multiple states.
after some hard
decisions and some
reluctant cut
backs some of the
band decided to
move in other
directions and
josh decided to go
solo. now
you have the new
solo project stain
glass hero.
Joshua Believes
that music is the
medium on which
God will use him
to reach those who
don't normally
hear the Word.
If you would like
to pray for Joshua
please feel free
any prayer is
welcome.
