“Apply yourself and work hard NOW. Don’t coast.” This is something that our teammate, Josh, has learned from the many roles he has had throughout his career. Although most of our employee-owners have fun stories to tell about their introduction to Preference, Josh’s is certainly the most unique. In between gigs as a professional opera singer, he would fill his time doing temporary assignments for our administrative team, and when we identified an internal need for someone to support our consultants, we asked Josh to join our team. He currently performs a variety of tasks such as sourcing and interviewing candidates, posting positions to our job boards, and acting as our tech liaison! What he enjoys most about this profession is collaborating and connecting with people both internally and externally while constantly learning new things.

What are your interests/hobbies outside of work?

My wife, Katie, and I, along with our son Foster, bought an old (1928) house a few years ago, so much of our free time is spent on renovations. My favorite sport is baseball, and I love watching tv/movies. I am a runner and have run 2 half-marathons. I love to cook, and I love coffee, wine, beer, whiskey…you name it! Time with family is the most important thing.

What inspires you?

Seeing others show selflessness and empathy toward others.
