A Sioux Falls native, Josh is a proud graduate of University of South Dakota and the University of South Dakota Beacom School of Business, where he studied Marketing, Social Media, and Hospitality and Tourism Management. As the top consultant with Coyote Business Consulting, Josh made history as the only student at Beacom to work with such a high number of clients throughout his time there.

His passion for international business was shaped not only by his academic studies but also by his experiences abroad. Josh has studied in 10 countries across Europe and Asia, and he most recently completed a Certificate of European Diversity at the HEC Liège Management School in Belgium. These international experiences have fueled his desire to help South Dakota businesses thrive globally.

In his new role, Josh is eager to leverage his knowledge and connections to support local businesses in expanding internationally. He’s also looking forward to fostering a strong relationship between South Dakota Trade and the University of South Dakota, thanks to his deep ties with the Beacom School of Business.
