Introduction
Me
I'm a web developer. But for you, I'll be anything. I'm an ambitious (in a nice way) person who pursues learning
and loves creating things.
You
When you hire a new staff member, you need someone who can jump in and hit the ground running. You need
someone who is not only smart and creative, but cares about mission of the company. You need someone who
is ready and willing for any challenge you throw his way.
I'm that person.
Us
I want to pour my creativity and talent into . I want to shape and be shaped, to teach and to learn.
I want to challenge you to be better, and I want to be challenged to be better. I'm not a "yes" man; I'm critical,
honest, have high standards, and am not afraid of confrontation. I'm "that guy" that clarifies action steps at the
end of meetings, because I have a bias toward action.
I want to contribute and walk alongside you as you evolve. I really look forward to hearing from you.

What People Say About Me
These comments are what real people (mostly past clients and co-workers) have said about me. I'd be happy to
provide letters of recommendation from my past employers upon request.
Josh has been able to help us excel in [visual graphic presentations], setting a new standard
for effective visual communication in our industry.
- Paul D
Every time he was challenged with a new responsibility, he devoted himself to mastering the
technical and administrative skills required to perform the job at the highest level possible. [He
was] a highly organized, professional, and absolutely indispensable part of our operation.
- Aaron F
I met Josh in college. He was the first contemporary of mine who I had met that was actually
auditing a course most people avoided having to take for credit. He was not in this class
because he had to be, but because he wanted to learn.
- Levi M
Josh is an extraordinarily gifted, creative and motivated polymath. He's inexhaustibly curious,
shockingly nonjudgmental, and a patient and active listener. He loves to learn, to experiment,
and to expand his horizons through his accomplishments.
- Daniel M
Joshua England is the most patient and thorough teacher that I know. I have had the fortune to
be "taught" by him in several areas - administration, computer skills, technology and media,
music, spiritual and life lessons. He goes above and beyond to make certain that what is being
taught is clearly understood.
