Josh Purvis grew up in Missouri, on a lake in the Ozarks. He spent most of his time outdoors, and became a professional wakeboarder. Eventually, an injury took him out of the circuit and he went to entertainment school. During his time there, he and his roommate built a website - and he has been into tech ever since. Outside of tech, he reads a ton, owning about 400-500 books, and enjoys street tacos, wings, and a good plate of pasta. In the past, Josh and his current co-founder started to discuss employment engagement. They also noticed that sharing information across a large company was, well - inefficient, with many points of failure. On the side, they started building something that would improve both of these areas together. This is the creation story of Assembly.
