Josh Williams, Recreation Coordinator
(he/him)
Josh is a Madison native who now resides in Middleton. He worked in the athletics and recreation field for over ten years in the Madison/Middleton area. He is looking forward to working for the City of Middleton and is excited to expand the programs and classes we have to offer. He hopes to see you attend! When not running programs, he likes to run the trails in the Pheasant Branch Conservancy or test out the new jumps at the Middleton Bike Park.
Levi Johnson, Youth Center Coordinator
(he/him)
Levi was born in Madison and grew up in Middleton, himself having attended the (pre-Gabi and John) Middleton Youth Center while attending Kromrey. At UW-Whitewater, he worked as a tutor and during summers he looked after young children, thus, the perfect meshing point was found in middle schoolers. Levi's greatest hope is to be able to help as many students as he can in recognizing a passion or interest they hadn't yet realized. When Levi isn’t at the Youth Center, he enjoys spending time with his dogs (ask for photos, he loves sharing!), urban & nature photography, Dungeons and Dragons, video games, hypothetical questions and going to coffee shops.
