CEO & Owner, Continental Building Company at Continental Real Estate Companies, Inc.

Josh is CEO and Owner of Continental Building Company, a Columbus, OH based commercial contractor that has been consistently ranked among the Top 400 Contractors in the U.S. with $275 Million in annual revenues.

A 25-year veteran of the construction industry, Josh first learned the business from his father and grandfather. He worked in all positions, from laborer, foreman, superintendent, project engineer, project manager, and Senior VP of Operations, prior to becoming president of a 250-person regional construction company in 2015. After several years of leading strategic growth with that firm, in 2019 Josh left that company to become Owner and CEO of Continental Building Company.

Foundational to Josh’s beliefs and success has been his commitment to not only the greater construction industry, but also to the local community. He has served on industry boards such as the Associated General Contractors of Central Ohio, the Builder’s Exchange of Central Ohio, and the Ohio State Apprenticeship Council; and also boards of local organizations such as Mount Carmel Foundation Board, COSI Community Board, Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA), and the Young President’s Organization (YPO).

Josh was a member of the 2002 graduating class of Leadership Columbus and was inducted into the Leadership Columbus Hall of Fame in 2017. He also was named to Columbus Business First’s ‘Forty Under 40’ class of 2010.
