About Joe Everest

Since becoming president at the family business, Joe Everest, 41, says he’s tripled revenue and the workforce at Ozark Fence & Supply Co. and expanded to serve clients nationwide.

Everest’s passion to help others find success runs deep. His YouTube channel – Joe Everest, The Fence Expert – has 85,900 subscribers and provides tips on running a profitable business. He mentors others in the fencing industry including competitors, he says, and gives in-person training for fence company leaders every year across the country. He also serves on the Midwest Region's board of the American Fence Association.

Everest has used his success to give back. In 2020, he formed the Ozark Fence Charitable Giving Committee, which he says is committed to donating at least $35,000 annually to nonprofits “regardless of our business health.” He also is board president of the Springfield Sertoma Club.

“I believe it’s critical that I provide a legacy roadmap for my team, those that I mentor and my three kids so that they will know the importance of using their resources to build a better community,” he says.
