In the fall of 1991, Josh Vincent played fullback as Butte High proved prognosticators wrong by tearing through the season and winning the Class AA State football championship.

Vincent went on to play fullback at Montana Tech, where he was part of the 1996 NAIA runners-up Orediggers.

Josh also wrestled for the Bulldogs, and he played outfield and pitched for the Butte Miners and Butte Muckers.

But giving out his athletic accomplishments only scratches the surface when telling the story of Vincent, a valedictorian of Butte High’s Class of 1992.

Recently, Vincent was named a Distinguished Alumni of Montana Tech. He was one of three founders of Water & Environmental Technologies (WET), a local engineering firm with a great business model that is meant to last and meant to keep its headquarters in the Mining City.

Josh is also one of the biggest supporters of Montana Tech Athletics. He was instrumental in raising money for several projects that improved Alumni Coliseum. That includes seating, the artificial turf, the JumboTron and the new JumboTron. 

You can usually see Josh at the Montana Tech Touchdown Club trailer cooking for tailgate parties at football games. Then he heads to the sidelines to cheer on the Orediggers.

Listen in as Josh talks about growing up in the Vincent household, getting straight A’s at Butte High, winning a state title as a Bulldog and nearly winning a national title for the Orediggers. 

Listen as he talks about his work that led him to be named a Distinguished Alumni of Montana Tech. Listen as he talks about starting WET in 2000 and watching it grow.
