LinkedInHeadshot of Josua

JOSHUA CHURCH

Joshua Church joined Arbor Capital Management in 2020. Prior to joining Arbor Capital Joshua served in the Marines for nine years on four continents with Marine Reconnaissance and Marine Special Operations. Joshua was responsible for planning, purchasing, transportation, and accountability of all assets and funds to deploy his team of Special Operators for up to six months, as the only US military presence in that country. Joshua’s experience with risk mitigation in uncertain environments will help him to navigate client’s investments in uncertain times. In 2016 Joshua felt it was time to return home to Fairbanks, Alaska to raise his family and start a new chapter of his life. Joshua started his own construction company, continued investing in local real estate while earning his bachelor’s degree at UAF. These experiences emphasized Joshua’s passion for finding value in investments and sparked his desire to pursue a career focused more exclusively in investing. Joshua believes in the need for a team of dedicated professionals to achieve success, while profitably running his own company Joshua missed having a team of competent professionals to partner with. With Arbor, Joshua has found a team to partner with where his passion to help people achieve financial freedom and peace of mind can blossom. When not working on financial investments Joshua spends his time raising his daughter, hunting, fishing, volunteering for various charities and organizations including serving on the ACAST board at the appointment of the governor.
