ENDORSEMENTS

"I have watched Joshua’s career progress from a talented Walt Disney World leader, to one of the most influential leaders in the Central Florida community. Joshua founded Central Florida Arts in 2010, and has grown it into world class community organization. Joshua has demonstrated the woo factor to garner support and resources, and the business acumen to build a sustainable model that has benefited hundreds of thousands over the past 10 years. Orlando is a much better place because of Joshua’s passion and commitment."

Dan Cockerell, Former Vice-President at Magic Kingdom

“We are grateful for the role Joshua has played in developing Central Florida Community Arts into an integral part of the artistic landscape of the City of Orlando and Central Florida over the past 10 years. He has leveraged his leadership and artistic skills to provide artistic opportunities to hundreds of children and adults throughout Orlando. The City of Orlando is proud to partner with him in his capacity as Executive Director of Central Florida Community Arts and looks forward to watching him continue his mission of making the arts accessible to Central Florida and beyond.”

“Joshua combines the best traits of an entrepreneur and a leader with a deep commitment to using the arts to enrich people of all ages. The result is his hugely successful Central Florida Community Arts organization, with, among other things, one of the largest choral music programs in the nation. It’s inspiring to see how he is now sharing his considerable experience to help other creative leaders learn how to take an ambitious vision and turn it into a significant community benefit.”
