Built on Trust. Backed by Experience.

Meet the Founder

Josh is the founder of Barefoot Livin’, and the newly launched Porch Sittin’ Pest & Mosquito, two companies built around a shared mission: helping families fully enjoy their homes and outdoor spaces.

Before launching these businesses, Josh spent nearly 10 years in the pest control and mosquito control industry, including time with MosquitoNix protecting homes across Central Texas. He also brought operational experience from working with national brands like YETI and Cabela’s, shaping his approach to customer service and team excellence.

Over the years, Josh built strong relationships with hundreds of homeowners throughout the Texas Hill Country. When the opportunity came to return to the industry after his non-compete, he knew exactly how he wanted to do it; through launching a company rooted in the same values that earned those customers’ trust in the first place.

That vision led to the launch of Porch Sittin’ Pest & Mosquito, a company designed to give homeowners reliable pest protection and mosquito control so they can enjoy their yards, patios, and porches again. Josh also founded Barefoot Livin’ with the same philosophy, pool ownership should be relaxing, not another chore on your list.
