About Joseph Mains
I build and lead visionary, world-class creative teams and brands that pour rocket fuel on the businesses goals they represent. Shepherding creativity, people, strategic thinking, and soul power—they all work together with the right leader. I make ambitious, diverse goals and pursue them with passion. John Cage says,\"Out of the work comes the work,\" and that\'s how I operate. I am a human who runs trails and writes poems, am a proud dad and partner, and I enjoy wrenching on vintage Mercedes diesels. I love my friends and they love me. Chicano. First gen/college. PMA.
