Throughout my career I've had the privilege of working with a number of smart and talented people. The folks below were kind enough to share their thoughts on the experience of working together:
REVIEWS
"In my time working with Josh, we singled him out and promoted him to lead a new initiative for a Fortune 100 technology client. He lead the team to do something that our company (and really the industry) had not done before. And he took this on working cross-functionally with many other agency teams, in an incredibly tight timeline, and under the many implications of the Covid-19 pandemic. He was always calmly dedicated to the client’s mission, traveling for extended periods of time away from his family, painstakingly working to ensure all of the small details were perfect, and also constantly making suggestions for how we could be better, more efficient, more streamlined." -Morgan Connacher, VP - Events & Special Programs at Haute
"The beauty of having someone like Josh work for you is that you never have to worry whether something will get done. At times, even a sideways mention of a task that could potentially affect the outcome of a project would have 100% follow up and completion if Josh caught wind of it. Be it creative design, system design, logistical planning, training, management, or people development, Josh brings to the table the highest caliber of professionalism and expertise." -Brett Keenan, Former Director of Experiential Events at Haute
“Josh is warm, welcoming, resourceful, helpful, willing to do anything needed to support the team, and flexible enough that we were able to move him around the company to support in other areas like our media team and our Haute Dokimazo team until our PPP funding ran out. So yes, I want you to hire Josh because he is a huge asset to the team. I want you to hire Josh because he will benefit your entire company. I want you to hire Josh because he is the kind of person you need on your team.” -Liz Lathan, Former Partner and CMO of Haute
“More important than always doing a great job, Josh exuded positivity and energy that was contagious. He was always willing to step up and do anything that was asked of him. He looked out and cared for our clients and fellow team members. Every experience that a customer had with Josh was always positive and he made everyone feel special that he worked for and with. Attitude is everything, and in that regard, Josh was everything.” -Jeff Haynes, Founder of Haute Companies
"Josh is the nicest, kindest, big Event brother I've ever had - on multiple occasions, he's stepped up for last minute tasks that really helped me out. AND he does it with a smile! He really enhances the positive environment of the Events team and is a huge value add. I'm / we're lucky to have someone like Josh on our team! -Thuy Diep, Former Events Producer at Haute
“An invaluable asset to any team, Josh’s strong leadership, focus on direction and creativity engenders an environment that gives strong, capable artisans the capacity to aid the business in pursuit of its goals through their own unique perspectives and talents.” -Shane Acuff, Owner of Sacred Arts
“Josh rocks! He has a keen eye and sharp mind for simple yet effective design, a knack for dealing with clients, writes well with wit and substance, and can manage a multitude of tasks with aplomb. Josh is one of the good guys - reliable, kind, and supportive - but never a pushover. I can’t wait to work with him again!” -Kelly Kowalski, Co-Founder of O90/Documentary Filmmaker
“Josh was my digital scout, ranging out along the frontier of digital media and reporting back on opportunities. The position Josh took on was a totally new one for the organization, so it was incumbent upon Josh to make it his own. He did so by bringing to that position an inherently positive attitude, a philosophical way of approaching technical challenges and a curiosity for what was just over the digital horizon.” -Chad Davis, Assistant General Manager - Digital & Multimedia at Nebraska Educational Telecommunications PBS & NPR
“I had the privilege of working with Josh for several years while he was at New Mexico PBS. Josh is a highly organized, goal oriented, independent and hard working professional who puts his energy into getting the job done. Josh is extremely intelligent, creative, and analytical. Josh is probably one of the smartest people that I have ever worked with. -Joan Rebecchi, Director of Content at New Mexico PBS
“Josh has an excellent sense of story. He has the ability to find the angle that will hook the audience in and then can develop the narrative to keep them interested. Josh worked for me on a weekly newsmagazine television show that had a demanding, unrelenting schedule. I could always rely on Josh to help book the very best guests, do comprehensive research on any assigned topic, and handle the surprise technical hiccups that often unfold during a live production. He’s a clear communicator and keeps a calm presence in the storm.” -Tish Bravo, Story Producer and Writer at National Geographic Television
“Josh has been a delight to work with and has helped our company understand what it means to have a public image and how to maximize that impact on the general public. He has been dependable, professional and has a good sense of moral fiber.” -Dominic Chavez, Former Vice President at Southwest Organic Producers
“I knew from the first time I met Josh he would be a superstar in the OILS Program (Organization, Information and Learning Sciences). Josh is a true learner. He is sincere, innovative and has a genuine thirst for knowledge.” -Amy Mullins, Unit Administrator 1 for the Dean’s Office at the University of New Mexico
