Keynote speaker · Founder & CEO of Selflessly
I talk about what AI really does inside a small company, how employers make giving and volunteering stick, and how technology can serve people better. Real stories, real guardrails, no hype.
Keynotes, panels, fireside chats and workshops. Every talk is tailored to your audience, from HR and workforce leaders to founders, nonprofits and public sector teams.
The honest field report: what broke, what surprised us, and the guardrails that make AI safe to trust. For leaders deciding what AI should and shouldn't run.
The playbook for organizations without an AI department: find where AI fits, start without betting the business, and build trust one boring task at a time.
Most workplace giving programs launch with a bang and fade by spring. Josh shows how small and midsize employers build matching, volunteering and giving campaigns that employees join, managers champion and finance can live with.
From in.gov to Indiana's Management Performance Hub to the Know the O Facts opioid campaign, Josh has built technology that serves people at statewide scale. What makes public technology land, and what leaders can borrow from startups without breaking public trust.
Designing systems around how your brain actually works, productivity without shame, and why the future of work might fit neurodivergent minds better than the past ever did.
Formats: keynote, panel, fireside chat, workshop, lunch and learn. In person or virtual. Based in Indianapolis, available nationwide.
I take on a small number of advisory clients at a time. Here is how I can help.
One on one guidance for founders, executives and leaders navigating growth, transitions or a hard season.
The decisions that make or break early companies: product, go to market, fundraising readiness and building the right team.
Find where AI genuinely fits your organization, design the guardrails, and build routines your team will actually use.
An honest assessment of your current technology and a roadmap that fits your goals and your budget.
Part time executive leadership for growing companies and nonprofits that need senior guidance without a full time hire.
Practical help with B Corp certification and benefit corporation formation, from someone who has done it.
Companies, nonprofits and public institutions across Indiana and beyond
I'm the founder and CEO of Selflessly, an Indianapolis company that helps employers run giving, matching and volunteering programs their people actually use. In 2026 we rebuilt Selflessly around AI agents that handle much of the day to day, work featured in the Indianapolis Business Journal and in CICP's Indiana AI case study series.
Before Selflessly, I was a director at NIC Inc, building statewide digital services including in.gov work, Indiana's Management Performance Hub and the Know the O Facts opioid stigma campaign, and managing $6M+ in budgets across six states.
I started out in medicine and worked as a paramedic at Wishard Hospital on Indianapolis's Near East side. That job taught me that tools help, and people own the decisions that matter. It is still how I think about AI.
I'm an IBJ 40 Under 40 honoree and TechPoint's Mira Award Community Champion of the Year. I created Open for Service, which drew CNN and BBC coverage, raised $42K for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and serve on Indianapolis's Equal Opportunity Advisory Board.
Tell me what you have in mind. I read every message and reply within two business days.
