Hey,
hi, hello.

My name is Josh. I’m an award-winning creative director who has led advertising, brand, and innovation work for global companies including Apple, Hinge, HBO, Verizon, Volvo, PepsiCo, and Samsung.

These days I help companies raise capital, scale their brands, and find their voice.

I also serve the Town of Wellfleet, Massachusetts, as a Selectman, Sewer Commissioner, and Trustee of the Affordable Housing Trust.
