Joshua Perez

Joshua Perez has 25 years of experience in the Portable Sanitation industry. He is the Owner of Redi 2 Go Rentals, the Safety and IT Manager and former General Manager of A Clean Portoco, and the Texas Disposal System Manager of Fusion Site Services. He was born in Houston, Texas, and grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, later attending Texas Tech University and residing in the central Texas area. His belief in, “treating others the way you want to be treated,” something his grandmother instilled in him, led Joshua to pursue a leadership role in the PSAI. Since he attended his first PSAI show in 2005, Joshua has been privileged enough to meet some wonderful and knowledgeable members of the PSAI. Those members gave him on-the-job education in the sanitation industry and how to look outside the box for answers. Joshua hopes we can continue to grow the PSAI and give the next generation of members a warm and welcoming home to learn from our history and make the future brighter.
