Josh Tech - "Where are they Now?"



Hey Everyone, so I guess it is my turn to give you a little insight into what I have been up to over the past years, so here it goes.

Immediately after school, I worked for just over a year developing parts for some of the GM vehicles made in the Lordstown and Morain assembly plants. That allowed me to shortly thereafter get offered a job in SC working on exterior development for BMW. The X5, X6, and new X3 (the Z4 was, but has since moved back to Germany) are all built just outside of Greenville, SC which is where I primarily reside now. They are American made so feel free to pick one up!!!
I started as a production engineer, and now am currently responsible for the manufacturing engineering department that oversees development of the fender module, front fascia module, rear fascia module, and various other exterior plastic parts. Its has been a pretty rewarding experience; I have been able to travel all over (especially to Europe and Mexico many times), and to see your work driving around every day is pretty cool.


Those of you that remember me from college always knew I was always into "pimping" my car as we used to say LOL. Well, I also kept doing that but on a whole different level by specializing in high end cars and doing that as a side business. My personal cars have won almost every major award, and have actual won many national championships in different sanctioning organizations for the over past 6 years.


Other than that I am still into enjoying life......sometimes too much maybe as I am told on a regular basis. I live in Greenville during the week lets say, but spend the majority of my weekends in Charlotte, NC or Orlando, Fl; with frequent trips to Atlanta, Miami, and Las Vegas of course. Always have to be where the fun is or the beach of course.


In terms of other random things:
- My parents and my two youngest siblings still live in Erie, but I really don't get back to Erie more than once a year (usually for Christmas).
- Still somehow no kids to speak of (for which I am sure the world is thankful for). But definitely not from lack of practice :-)
- No pets either as they would probably die from neglect since I tend to leave for weeks at a time
- I have owned 11 high end cars since leaving school
- I finished up my masters (MBA) degree just over 3 years ago......keeping that in my back pocket for when I might need it some day
- And any crazy story that you might have heard is probably true LOL

If any of you have facebook feel free to look me up (simply search for Josh Tech) and keep in touch

Hope you all are doing well!!!!!
