Josh Gerold

Position: Project Manager, TCFM
Categories: Staff

Josh joined TCFM as a Project Manager in 2025 with more than 15 years in the general construction industry, he has built a career grounded in hands-on experience and the guidance of several influential mentors. Early on, he honed his craft by taking on full kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, and all phases of carpentry-from framing to tile work-while running his own projects independently. Over the past five years, he has transitioned into project management, where he’s found his passion for guiding a job from concept to completion. He’s not one to stay behind a desk, either-he enjoys jumping in on-site, sharing knowledge, and helping team members learn new trades. Outside of work, Josh enjoys a full and active life with his daughter, who is currently in college, and his two Labrador retrievers. Weekends often find him camping, boating, or exploring trails on the side-by-side.
