Josh Verran- Strength Assistant
Hometown: Hancock, MI
I was born and raised in a small town in the UP. After high school, I joined the Air Force and it was during my service that I fell in love with fitness. After my first enlistment, I decided to attend school for kinesiology. I spent my first year at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and then transferred to Michigan to get closer to home. I have been interning with Michigan Strength & Conditioning for the past year, and upon graduation, I plan on working as a strength and conditioning coach or attending grad school.
