Josiah Erikson

Josiah is a Hampshire alum and has been working for Hampshire since the fall of 2000. As a student, he was involved in a group of student system administrators who were under the supervision of Sharon Solms. She affectionately called this group the "stouters", after the first server said group both named and built. Josiah was originally hired as the NS Computing Support Specialist by Brian Schultz, which came about at the suggestion of Lynn Miller. While working for NS, he was offered the position of systems administrator, but he turned it down. Then, in the fall of 2006, soon after Ryan Moore left, he moved to CS, which also moved him under the IT umbrella (his previous position had been not under IT, but rather under NS). Then, in the fall of 2009, he was asked to be the Network Engineer, since Bob Crowley had become IT Director. He accepted, but has continued doing his work in CS as well, and Bob is still doing the phones.

Outside of Hampshire, Josiah has a wide variety of interests, the primary one being music - he is a blues, funk, jazz, and classic rock musician with an active gigging and recording schedule. He is also into mountain biking, playing games, reading, parenting, and a variety of other things.

You can learn more about Josiah at his personal website. Well actually you probably can't, since he hasn't updated it in about a billion years or so.
