More on me:

Hi, I’m Josh — a digital marketing leader turned AI startup founder, building automation tools that help small business owners thrive in a tech-first world.

I’m Co-Founder of Build-A-Way Inc., the company behind Operator AI™ — a patent-backed platform automating voice, chat, booking, payments, and CRM for service businesses. Our first vertical, FindMyPlumber.io, is already live with 6 businesses.

🚀 We’ve:

Filed a 40+ claim utility patent for AI-powered service workflows

Joined Founder Institute

Before launching Build-A-Way, I spent nearly a decade helping local businesses grow through digital marketing. At Premier Automotive, I led the strategy for 20 dealerships, managing:

Website development and UX optimization

SEO growth campaigns for multi-location brands

Google Ads, Meta Ads, and paid social at scale

CRM integrations + customer journey automation

Constant Contact & drip email marketing

Reputation management and lead capture

Analytics dashboards + BI reporting

I also consulted Nissan business owners across the Gulf Coast on modernizing their sales, service, and digital customer experience.

I’m a New Orleans native and proud graduate of St. Augustine High School and Saint Leo University, where I was elected Student Body President at both. Today, I stay connected to the community through the Young Leadership Council and the American Marketing Association.

Outside of work, I’m into travel, real estate investing, and digging into new ideas at the intersection of business, tech, and human behavior.
