Bucky’s Family: Josh Davies

Meet Bucky’s Family member, Josh Davies!

Josh is a senior here at Beaverton High who grew up in a Christian family. Josh and his family of his mother, father, and older brother have lived and continue to live in a house around 10 blocks south of Beaverton High. He went to Hilltop Christian School for kindergarten and then to Pilgrim Lutheran for first grade through eighth grade. Being so close to these schools, Josh has come become very familiar with Beaverton. In fact, Josh has lived in this house all of his life!



Something many people don’t know about Josh is that he often thinks of possible explanations for God. These ideologies often involve higher dimensions. Josh added almost sarcastically, “These explanations would probably melt the minds of anyone who hasn’t taken AP Physics.”



Josh also loves video games and anime! Josh plays video games such as Warframe and Paladins on his PC. He plays video games because he enjoys how much strategy is involved. Josh loves anime just as much, if not more! When asked about how he feels about anime, he responds, “It’s a guilty pleasure that I don’t feel guilty about.” Josh watches anime such as Samurai Flamenco, Durarara, Parasyte: The Maxim, and Steins Gate. Josh appreciates any anime in the Shounen genre. This genre of anime focuses on adventure, action, and fighting.  In addition, Josh also loves LEGO and listening to music.



When asked about his biggest obstacle, Josh spoke of Celiac disease. Josh was diagnosed with Celiac disease in fifth grade. Josh’s parents were aware that something may be wrong because Josh hadn’t gained a single pound for a year. Josh came to the realization that gluten was raising his intestines and would basically destroy his ability to digest nutrition. Essentially, Josh was starving to death no matter how much he ate. After being on a diet given by his doctor for about a week, Josh had a night where he stayed up all night crying due to growing pains. Now, whenever Josh eats gluten he feels queasy, or if the queasiness isn’t enough to make him throw away the cookies, the gluten present in the cookies is the equivalent to almost one and a half mea’s worth. Josh Davies makes a great addition to Bucky’s Family.
