Josh.
Operator. Builder. Founder.
I've spent eight years operating inside businesses, generating over $50M in value through marketing design, AI enablement, and revenue innovation. Founded and exited a multi-disciplinary consulting firm in 2023. Today I help businesses at every stage — from $150k coaching practices to $100M advisory firms and $25M+ enterprises — clear the next tier. Prometheus is how I do it.
Built in a different uniform.
Ten years in the U.S. Army Infantry. Multiple assignments across conventional and special operations units. Two combat deployments — Iraq (OIF) and Afghanistan (OEF). The operator instincts I bring to every Prometheus engagement were forged before they were applied to P&Ls.
With Drill Sergeant duty at Ft. Benning, an officer commission on offer through Green-to-Gold, and below-the-zone selection for Sergeant First Class on the table, I accepted an opportunity to build a business in the civilian sector and departed the Army on my own terms.
Most of what I bring to consulting work — the bias toward execution, the discomfort with theater, the instinct that systems are tested in pressure, not in slides — came from those years. Same operator. Different terrain.
Different stages, same operator.
Most engagements involve growth-stage operators who can see the next tier but don't have the internal infrastructure to reach it without 2–3 expensive hires and a year of build time. I come in as the operating partner who designs, deploys, and runs the systems that get you there — usually inside 9 to 12 months — and hands off cleanly to your team. Stage doesn't change the playbook; it changes which lever moves the number.
Intelligent marketing design
Conversion-aware, compliance-aware GTM systems. The kind of marketing that doesn't need to apologize to your legal team.
AI enablement at scale
Production AI deployments that survive past the pilot phase and get inherited cleanly by your team — not by my retainer.
Revenue innovation
New products and service lines designed and operated inside your existing business. Net-new revenue without net-new headcount.
Built it, ran it, sold it.
I founded and successfully exited a multi-disciplinary consulting firm spanning financial, tax, and legal advisory — an integrated practice that brought three traditionally siloed disciplines under one roof and into one workflow.
The practice served small-business owners and high-net-worth individuals and families with a clear mission: reduce taxable income to as little as legally possible while maximizing capital growth, with maximum protections — built on uncommon but proven strategies most firms either don't know or don't bother to implement.
Designing the firm, scaling it, and exiting it cleanly taught me what actually compounds in service businesses and what just looks like it does. Everything I build at Prometheus carries the operator scars of that experience — what to invest in early, what to leave alone, and what to instrument before you wish you had.
5,000 doors.
One conversation at a time.
I started my career the hard way — knocking on over 5,000 doors in Houston, Texas, building a client base from scratch through direct engagement. No warm intros, no inherited book, no shortcuts. Just person-to-person work, every day, for years.
That foundation taught me what actually moves a business forward: meaningful connection and measurable positive impact on people's lives. Every system I've built since — every marketing engine, every AI deployment, every revenue line — has been engineered to scale that kind of work, not replace it.
When the storm hit,
the work changed.
During Hurricane Harvey, I stepped out of my primary work and served as director of operations for a veteran-focused non-profit coordinating relief on the ground in Texas. Different work, same lesson — at scale, with a clearer view of consequence.
Coordinating volunteers, deploying resources, and standing with communities under real pressure reinforced what door-knocking had already taught me: human connection isn't a soft skill, it's the operating system. That conviction sits underneath every system I now design.
Demystifying without dumbing down.
Most industries — financial, tax, legal, consulting, you name it — are filled with people who confuse complexity for value. I've made a public practice of doing the opposite: stripping the unnecessary, surfacing the leverage, and making the work clear, transparent, and actually useful for the human on the other side.
Advocating without selling. Debunking without condescending. Demystifying without dumbing down. The same instinct shows up in how I build systems for clients: every workflow, every dashboard, every AI deployment is designed for the human who has to live with it — not the deck I'd use to pitch it.
