Battle Born Client Experience

PAST & PRESENT

Praise

  • “Having someone you can truly depend on is always hard to find and Josh has never shown anything but. It is rare to find someone with true experience in the front and back of the house and Josh has a great understanding of finances as well. Even less common for a person to implement that expertise well as an operator and consultant like he is capable. I can’t think of anyone I would trust more with my business. His continual drive for further education is a testament to his character. He’s never come across a problem or issue he could not handle.”

    — Clayton Jones, Restauranteur/Commercial Real Estate Venture Capitalist

  • “Josh has one of the brightest restaurant/business minds I have ever had the privilege of working with. His innovative and creative way of thinking outside the box has helped him become a force in the restaurant scene. He's a people person and extremely easy to work with. I appreciate his drive to be the best in the business!”

    -Brandon Merrell, Meati

    -Gunnar Steden, True Creatures

  • “As a previously struggling business owner, I have had the pleasure of working with Josh and Battle Born over the last four years and it truly is refreshing to partner with people who are not only incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of the industry, but are also honest and passionate. Since day one, Josh has always been meticulous and diligent in his work and also extremely responsive to any question that I had. Josh's fierce tenacity and work ethic has not only helped me reach my goals, but surpass them in a shorter time frame than I originally planned for.”

    -Daniel Kim, Sysco

  • “We have worked with Joshua as financial professionals for several years. Having interacted with him on many levels from a day to day operations person to an Operational Director, we have seen Josh be thoughtful, calm and respectful. He is a true professional in the Foodservice Industry. Knowledgeable about many things and when he does not know, he picks up the phone and calls to find the right person. For Kim, a former industry professional, the mark of a true professional is to know what you do not know and never be too proud to ask for help. Josh embodies all of that and so much more in his thought process. He is someone who examines the problem, finds a solution, and works to execute the solution either directly or through others. It is this ability that is such a great quality. There are those who say, “I am the big picture guy,” “I am the in the trenches guy,” “I am the money guy” - Josh is, for such a young guy, the embodiment of all 3. We are honored to have worked directly with him on both the operational and financial front.”

    -Dmitri Galcovski, The SBA CPA

  • “I’ve known Josh since elementary school. Outside of my family, Josh is the person I’ve known the longest and still have in my inner circle. He’s a loyal friend who values many of the same tenants I regard: work hard when it’s time to work, enjoy being with your family and friends when you can, and lead with kindness in everything you do. Josh operates this way day in and day out, always hungry to tackle the next big challenge that comes his way. I was and still am fortunate to experience Josh’s skills in the kitchen, both personally and professionally. As teenagers, he’d make homemade burgers and fancy snacks (who needs Wendy’s and Doritos?) whenever the gang came over. As we got older, Josh would invite me to each new restaurant he led, showing me his latest menu concepts and curations; rarely have I eaten so well, each dish better than the last. While the culinary skills were apparent early on, what has impressed me most about my friend is his foresight and motivation in the business world. Josh has a nose for opportunity and the confidence in himself and those around him to see his bold ideas through. When he believes in a mission and a vision, Josh will give everything he has to make it a reality. He’s managed to combine his culinary skillset with a sharp, keen business mind to great success. I truly cannot wait to see what Josh comes up with next.”
