EKU graduates Josh Jarboe, '12, and Tony Mudd, '15, made the Louisville Business First's Forty Under 40 list for 2023. The program honors "professionals under the age of 40 thriving in their careers, demonstrating their skills at work or in the community and contributing to make Greater Louisville a better place," according to Louisville Business First.
Josh Jarboe is the principal broker-owner of RE/MAX Empire and co-founder of Motto Mortgage A2Z. About being recognized among Louisville’s Forty Under 40, Jarboe shared, “With over 600 nominations in 2023, the honor of being anonymously nominated was profound in itself.”
The time Jarboe spent at EKU fostered enduring friendships and valuable connections in his industry. “Effective communication lies at the heart of real estate, and the skills I honed during my studies have given me the confidence and edge in a competitive field crowded with thousands of licensed professionals statewide,” he said.
Tony Mudd, Certified Safety Professional and founder of Sensori Safety, said, “Being recognized in Louisville's Forty Under 40 is an incredibly meaningful achievement for me. From internships to collaborative projects, I had the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to tangible situations. I draw upon these skills daily, approaching challenges with the same determination and resilience that I cultivated during my time at EKU."
