Joshua D. Hayes is a man with a game plan, some would say he held the master plan in his hand. Josh, J. Hayes, Coach Hayes and Dad to Jai and Vance, are just some of the names that you will hear him called. His name should read “super” and follow whatever role he is fulfilling in that moment; super dad, super coach, super teacher, super mentor and super friend.  Josh isn’t your average coach or teacher. He is a man on a mission hoping to change the life of every person he comes in contact with, and it is evidenced in his seasons of successes. From helping to win Championships at Hall High School, to final four appearances at the State Tournament with E-stem Public Charter School, to successfully managing programs that would coach adults to start and maintain successful careers as a Career Coach Manager within the state of Arkansas.
