Our Story

Tech Bridge Inc. was founded by Joshua Boggues who is also a Controls Engineer, Certified Fanuc Robot Programmer, and 4.0 Business Student at Campus.edu. After losing a business, a home, and a marriage — with employment gaps and a criminal record — he invested in his own mental health, physical health, and education.

Now he trains others to do the same. Not just job skills. A second chance. With someone who has already lived it.

"Your record does not disqualify you. Jesus did not come for the righteous, but for the sinners to repent. Our founder is a returning citizen. He survived what you're surviving."
