Driven by a passion for impact, Josh is on a mission to help eradicate agency poverty and provide businesses with the operational infrastructure needed to scale profitably. From his roots in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he began his career as a Personal Trainer, Josh has evolved into a visionary entrepreneur.
With a decade of experience leading the growth of multi-seven-figure businesses in various niches, Josh founded Hydra to bring his expertise to digital agencies. His leadership in marketing and sales, combined with innovative projects like Hydra Council, Cleanbooks, and most recently, Agency Therapy, has empowered over 100 agencies to achieve their growth potential.
From 2018 to 2020, Josh served as the COO of Welling Media, where he architected the systems and infrastructure to support their rapid growth to multiple seven-figures per year in revenue and over 25 employees. He played a key role in servicing some of the most prominent brands in the DTC industry, such as the Oodie and Snow Teeth Whitening, and was instrumental in the acquisition of Welling Media in 2020.
Guided by values of growth, personal happiness, and profit, Josh is committed to helping business founders build businesses that serve them. His journey is a testament to the power of resilience, strategic planning, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Currently, Josh is focused on Hydra's four main offerings: management consulting with DWY and DFY solutions for digital agencies, bi-annual events called Hydra Council, the new bookkeeping arm called Cleanbooks and the most recent project, Agency Therapy. A recent notable milestone was hosting their first international event in London.
