Josh offers 30 years of experience leading software organizations of all sizes and has grown opportunities from ideas, to profitable businesses, through funding, and into successful exits.

Max grew up in Minneapolis and moved to Bozeman to attend Montana State University, where he studied Political Science, English Literature, and Philosophy. During, and after, college, Max worked on political campaigns and bartended at local favorite Bridger Brewing. While bartending, he began managing the brewery’s social media during slower shifts and gradually took on more responsibility for their marketing efforts. When Bridger Brewing expanded to Three Forks, Montana and pursued statewide distribution and a concert series, Max was promoted to Marketing Director. He led their marketing department for three years before transitioning to Eagle Mount, a local nonprofit in Bozeman that focuses on adaptive recreation for people with disabilities. At Eagle Mount, Max served as Marketing and Engagement Manager before joining joogi. In his free time, he enjoys playing board games, being with friends and family, and experiencing all of the amazing things Bozeman has to offer. Max also loves cooking, exploring new restaurants in Bozeman, and traveling to try food and beer from around the world (his favorite so far has been Ausgustiner’s Helles Lager). His orange cat, Pygs, is another source of joy (and expenses).
