Josh Maxwell had always wanted to join the armed forces. At the age of 27 after a difficult season of life, Josh decided to join the Army National Guard.

I wanted to wear that uniform because I wanted to serve.” Josh serves on a tank crew as a gunner, loader, driver, and tank commander. Josh started his career at SRM in 2018 as a Mixer Operator. The leadership skills he gained in the National Guard moved him quickly into management of the night pours at our Nashville plant. From there he transitioned to the recruiting department before taking on his current role as the GM in Western Kentucky.
