Feedback from clients, supervisors, and peers with whom I've worked closely.
Fun, interesting, principled, and, by gosh, he will do what he says he will do.
They say that if you need something done, give it to a busy person. But if you need everything done, right now, you give it to Josh.
He is intelligent, talented and dedicated. You can count on Joshua to do it right and do it on time, if not early.
His contributions came during a time of great change and challenge, but he never wavered.
Josh's greatest strength is his ability to quickly build trust through his calm, consistent, and reliably high performance.
Josh demonstrated an exceptional attention to detail, a calm demeanor under pressure, and a consistent, timely delivery of high quality work.
He has a tremendous work ethic and will do whatever is necessary to accomplish the assigned task.
He was excellent — without him, the transition would have been much rockier for our team.
