Humboldt Lacrosse Alumni Spotlight: Joshua Jorn

A long pole with Humboldt Lacrosse from 1996-1998, Josh was first introduced to the game by his freshman dorm buddy and Hog legend Will Yavorsky.

Originally a football player, Josh quickly caught on to the sport under the tutelage of Coach Jeff Bedwell and Will’s watchful eye, and started a love for the game that continues today. Unfortunately for the Hogs, Josh transferred to Fresno State where he finished out his college career, but he never forgot about his lacrosse brothers up in Humboldt County – and for that, we are grateful.

Currently the assistant superintendent of business services at Pacific Grove Unified School District, Josh is also an Instrument Flight Rules pilot who loves to surf, snowboard and spend time with his wife, Daniele, and their 4-year-old daughter, Kennedy.
