Hey! I'm Joshua. I was born in Nairobi and immigrated to Dallas, TX when I was five. I still go back to Kenya every other summer. As a kid I was obsessed with Yu-Gi-Oh, card tricks, and jailbreaking anything with a motherboard.

I'm a Texas Longhorn with a BBA in MIS, and UT is where I met my college sweetheart / wife / soulmate. We tied the knot in beautiful San Miguel de Allende.

I first cut my teeth at KPMG in the technology risk practice (prayers to the auditors), then spent a couple of years in Philly getting my MBA at Wharton. Now I'm back at KPMG in Tech Deal Advisory & Strategy.

When companies go through a merger or acquisition, technology is usually the most expensive and most complicated part of the deal. My job is to wrangle that complexity and tell the CEO, CTO, and the board what they're actually dealing with. I've done this across industrial manufacturing (steering wheels and ball bearings), financial services (payments), and traditional tech and telecom.

I love music and design. Which means I express my emotions in Spotify playlists organized by album cover (naturally).

I love to read. Two books I suggest to anyone who asks: Fearless by Eric Blehm and When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. Two lives worth of knowledge and wisdom in those books!

I'm an 18 handicap (sometimes 30 but who's counting) and I take game night more seriously than I should.

I'm always down to talk about random ideas — X or LinkedIn.
