Originally from the mountains of Colorado, Josh Everett is the CEO and founder of Everett Nautical Designs. Josh earned a BFA from Kutztown University and went on to work as a commercial artist in Manhattan, New York. Josh relocated to the Outer Banks in 2002, where he worked at Bayliss Boatworks for over a decade. At Bayliss, Josh quickly rose through the ranks from boat carpenter, to head of the exterior cabinet department within a year.
With thirty years of experience as a commercial artist and craftsman, Josh began Everett Nautical in 2007 specializing in painted yacht transom names and faux teak finishes. With extensive, hands-on knowledge of boat construction techniques and materials, Josh is able to apply the same types of carpentry fundamentals to the faux wood painting projects Everett Nautical undertakes on a regular basis. When Josh is not working (which is very rare) you can find him surfing, skiing or tinkering in his expansive woodshop at his Nags Head residence.
