Who is Josiah Ampian?
I was born and raised in Willmar, MN. In 2015, after graduating High School, I attended Ridgewater College for a year and then went on to spend 6 years serving in the Air Force. After coming back to the Kandiyohi area in December of 2022, I spent the last year and a half as a network engineer.
Additional Background
As the youngest child of four, I have always felt that family unity should come before each individuals personality(political or otherwise). From coming together for Christmas to just spending time every week, families (whether chosen or blood) are the quintessential unit that help bring us together as a community.
Fostering that community takes time and patience, and a willingness to step outside of normal perceptions. As someone who has supervised and helped direct leadership in previous jobs, I am no stranger to that. It also takes responsibility that requires understanding the effects of actions taken not just directly, but also the after effects of decisions you make.
In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, spending time with with my dog, nerding out to Marvel, and occasionally participating in theater. The arts and humanities are a big piece of why I love Kandiyohi/Minnesota, and it's one of the reasons I am going to stick around.
