Josh Brown – Bliffert Chief Operating Officer

As Chief Operating Officer, Josh oversees the day-to-day operations of Bliffert’s 15 locations. His work centers on supporting location managers, growing sales, and ensuring teams have the resources they need to succeed. “We are nothing without our people,” he says. “Making sure managers know how best to support their teams is extremely important to Bliffert Lumber.”

Bliffert’s longevity is a point of pride, serving the community since 1904, but Josh believes the company’s unique edge comes from its ownership model. “The combination of employee ownership, which empowers our team to take ownership of serving our customers, and family leadership with deep community ties makes us unique,” he explains.

That focus on people and relationships also drives Josh’s involvement with NARI Milwaukee. One standout moment was Bliffert’s first Remodeler Supplier Expo, which featured a major Milwaukee Tool sale and giveaway. “That event really integrated us in the NARI community,” he recalls.

Josh has also served on the NARI Milwaukee Board of Directors, including time as President, which gave him a deeper perspective on the value of involvement. For him, the heart of NARI is in the people. “The value of NARI is in the members and the relationships. There is a very small ROI on just putting a NARI sticker on your truck or office. Staying involved, continuing your education, and forming bonds is where NARI becomes a true value.”

Alex Pozzi– Bliffert Outside Sales Representative

In his role as an Outside Sales Representative, Alex spends his days on job sites, sourcing products, and helping remodelers troubleshoot challenges. “I take pride in being a reliable partner for my clients, someone they can count on for timely information, honest recommendations, and strong follow-through,” he says.

For Alex, what sets Bliffert apart is its balance of scale and service. “We’re large enough to handle complex jobs but small enough to care about every detail,” he explains. “We don’t just supply lumber. We support our clients from concept to completion.”

NARI Milwaukee has been instrumental in Alex’s professional growth, especially through the relationships he’s built. A career highlight was being honored with the Rising Star Award at the NARI Gala. “It was not only a proud personal moment, but also a reflection of the relationships and growth I’ve experienced through NARI.”

His advice for new members? Get involved. “Show up to events, introduce yourself, and be consistent. The more you invest in the community, the more you’ll get back, whether that’s through new business opportunities, industry knowledge, or genuine support from people who care about doing great work.
