16 members, including 4 on Zoom, heard Josh Callahan deliver his classification talk. An Omaha native, Josh migrated north as a young man, first to college at Iowa State, majoring in English Lit and then to the Twin Cities in pursuit of a career and of Erin Ryan (daughter of former FCH Rotarian Dave Ryan), who he married. After a few occupational changes he settled into mortgage lending, advancing to his present post as VP at Cross Country Mortgage. He and Erin settled in Fridley in 2005 and have three children. He enjoys reading, University of Nebraska football, fishing, youth sports coaching, travel, and volunteers with the Fridley Police Advisory Council as well as FCH Rotary’s STRIVE program as a mentor.
