As President, Josh oversees the day to day functions of the company and steers the company to meet the goals set forth by the Board of Directors. Josh serves on the Board of Governors and Board of Directors for the Lake County Contractors Association, as well as the Fox Valley Cement Masons Board of Trustees for the Health and Welfare, and the Lake County Cement Masons Board of Trustees for Pension.
