Our Greater Knoxville Team

Josh is the owner of Groovy Hues of Greater Knoxville and a resident of West Knoxville. He and his wife planted roots here nearly 10 years ago after the birth of their first child in order to be closer to Knoxville-area friends and family. Now with three children, Josh and family can be found on any given weeknight or weekend with friends at parks, on hiking or mountain bike trails, deep in a kimura at the jiu jitsu academy, deep in rough on some golf course, or deep in thought over a coffee shop latte (and perhaps enjoying your thoughtful reviews!). Josh entrusts the day-to-day operations of the business to Groovy Hues’ incomparable General Manager, Juli Kirby.

A lifelong Knoxville-area resident, Juli has raised two wonderful children, a beloved and ever-growing animal farm, and more than a decade of delicious vegetable gardens. Juli served as the General Manger of a medical products distribution center for more than two decades, out of which she was recruited to run all aspects of the back office of a defense products business. Juli brings to Groovy Hues a wealth of experience in gettin’ stuff done right, with a dedication to integrity, excellence, and satisfied customers. Juli, in turn, entrusts on-the-job leadership and workmanship to Groovy Hues’ expert Project Manager and Lead Painter, Will Whittaker.

Also a lifelong East Tennessee resident, Will brings nearly 15 years of painting experience to the Groovy Hues operation. He followed a disciplined track to expertise, from apprentice to painter to foreman and eventually the proud owner of a small-but-successful painting business; he joined Groovy Hues, in his own words, “to a be part of something much bigger.” Will has a wealth of experience in residential repainting, new homes, and commercial painting services. Prior to his painting career, Will served our nation as a deployed Army infantryman, having trained as Ranger and Airborne. For Groovy Hues, Will sets the tone and holds the standard in our crews to ensure that you are satisfied with our work and your experience.
