Meet Josh Mead: Our Conscientious Commissioning Manager
Meet Josh Mead, the Commissioning Manager at 5BY5 Engineers, whose life is as colorful and varied as the intricate projects he oversees. With a professional demeanor that conceals a fun-loving spirit, Josh navigates the world of engineering with the discipline and precision one might expect from someone whose first job involved the demanding work on his grandpa’s farm.
A true heartland soul, Josh’s allegiance lies firmly with his favorite sports team—the Kansas City Chiefs—embodying the spirit of dedication and teamwork he brings to every aspect of his life. When he’s not charting the course of complex engineering projects, you might find him tuning into the soul-stirring lyrics of Zach Bryan or headbanging to the timeless rhythms of Metallica, his all-time favorite band.
Josh's zest for life extends beyond the confines of his demanding job. A man of simple yet refined tastes, he dreams of the tranquil beaches of Hawaii, the top destination on his bucket list. And while his adventurous spirit has led him to the thrilling heights of skydiving, he's equally content savoring the simple pleasures of BBQ, his go-to food for any occasion, followed by the classic combo of cookies and milk as a late-night treat.
In a world of fleeting trends, Josh harbors a nostalgic affection for cargo shorts, a testament to his practical and unpretentious style. Describing himself as funny, disciplined, and adventurous, he's a man who thrives on challenges, whether it's keeping fit, a passion he pursues with the fervor of a would-be personal trainer, or showcasing his hidden talent in singing, a delightful surprise to those who know him well.
In an alternate universe, perhaps one straight out of a Marvel movie, Josh Mead might have been a personal trainer, channeling his discipline and adventurous spirit into helping others achieve their fitness goals.
Beneath the surface of this multifaceted individual lies the heart of a family man, aspiring to be recognized not just for his professional achievements, but for being a great husband and father. Josh envisions a future where he's known for nurturing two successful sons, a dream that reflects the depth of his commitment to family and the legacy he wishes to leave behind.
