  • Josh Valle

    Florida Registered Architect / Project Manager
    #teamHouchin member since 2015

    Born and raised in Southwest Florida, Josh was first introduced to drafting by taking a course in high school. After a part time job as a draftsman, he decided to study design in college, receiving his Bachelors of Design and Masters of Architecture from the University of Florida. While interning with a local architectural firm, Josh found he enjoyed the construction management side of work, so he was excited to join Houchin Construction when the opportunity arose. Josh’s education and experience allow him to visualize a project from the 2D drawings and help clients to do the same. He enjoys being part of the mystery that goes into creating new and interesting projects. When he’s not at work, Josh can be found trying new restaurants with his girlfriend, spending time with friends and family, or working out.
