Hi, I'm Josh
A southern bred, laid back gent from Alabama. I kind of fell into advertising backwards. I started school Pre-Architecture, then double majored in Chemistry and Biology. One day, while applying for grad school, I Googled, “I want to make commercials”. Miami Ad School popped up, and the rest is history.

Recommendations
“In the few months we worked with Josh, it became obvious that he's a talented, hard-working, and passionate creative. He thinks strategically and holistically. He's thoughtful about the work, from brief to execution. He's comfortable putting his head down and doing the work, articulate about his thought process, and approaches problems with unique perspectives. Also worth noting he brings an impressive amount of production experience to every project. Definitely recommend checking him out.”
“Josh worked at Innocean for a while and during his time here, he tackled lots of projects for us. He was instrumental on Hyundai productions, Wienerschnitzel productions, lots of creative development. Josh is not only a talented creative, but is great with clients and follow through when it comes to all things production. And he didn't mind diving into the not-so-sexy projects that inevitably come up. Would highly recommend him as a AD, ACD, whatever! Looking forward to working with him again.”
– Jeff Bossin | VP Group Creative Director - InnoceanUSA
“Josh was on our team for several years and created some great advertising. He's a strong 360 creative thinker, talented art director and skilled designer. My favorite thing about Josh is what a powerful engine he can be for ideas. When he's passionate about an idea, he'll move heaven and earth to push it forward, get others on board, overcome obstacles and bring that idea to life.“
– Perrin Anderson | VP Group Creative Director - RPA
“Josh is someone always willing to do more, try new projects and raise his hand. His work ethic, sense of humor, ability to flex, and respond quickly are exactly what keeps the agency moving. In the year I worked with him at Chiat\Day LA, I was proud of many of his contributions to the work especially on the 2019 Heisman House campaign.'“
– Renato Fernandez | Chief Creative Officer - TBWA\Chiat\Day
“Josh and his partner, Adam Aceino, took the lead in developing the creative for the 2019 Heisman House Campaign. It's not a coincidence that Josh's first time working on the campaign also happened to be one of the strongest years in the Heisman House's long-running history. In addition to being lovely to work with, Josh is a dedicated creative when it comes to his craft and brings a fresh sense of humor to his work."
– Liz Cartwright | Creative Director - TBWA\Chiat\Day
“Josh is a very talented dude. There are people in this business who think they know funny, but he really knows funny. He's also one of those art directors who can, um, write. Meaning, he made my job a lot easier. He's a pleasure to be around -- somehow both constantly relaxed yet in possession of a killer work ethic. I can't recommend Josh highly enough."
