Josh, a dedicated former Special Forces Officer and proud dad of four incredible children, is the visionary behind bringing Thiel on 9th to life. Josh is local to the area with deep roots in our community. Josh began this journey from a simple idea sketched at his old schoolhouse drafting table, and he transformed it into a vibrant reality. While many may view Special Forces as solely focused on destruction, Josh embodies the proof that they are indeed builders and creators. His deep connection to the community shines through in his work, and when he’s not revitalizing downtown buildings, you can find him joyfully spending time with his kids, coaching, giving back to veterans, or engaging in uplifting community outreach.
