Josh Tabin’s Summary

My passion is building businesses.

- Right out of college I built an office supply company right down the street from Office Max, Office Depot and Staples.
- In the mid-nineties I built "one stop shopping" markets for Southwestern Bell in Houston and Austin.
- After the "dot.com" bubble burst, I helped build Rackspace into the greatest hosting company there is.
- In less than two years, I built RigNet into the fastest growing managed communications provider for upstream oil and gas.
- For the past several years, I have been consulting with great startup entrepreneurs on both coasts helping guide them to the next level.

I build businesses...will it be yours next?
