Meet Joshua R. Goolsby: Founder, Creator, and Chief T-Shirt Enthusiast
Joshua R. Goolsby is the visionary behind Tower Threads, and he’s not your average t-shirt designer. No, Joshua is the kind of guy who saw a drawer full of boring, uninspired shirts and thought, “Air traffic controllers deserve better. We guide planes; we shouldn’t be doomed to wear sucky tees.” And so, armed with nothing but his passion for aviation, a deep love for digital design, and possibly too much caffeine, he set out to change the game.
Our Story
With a heart as big as the skies he helps guide, Joshua combines his love for air traffic control with his commitment to making sure controllers look as sharp as their radar skills. When he’s not crafting the next iconic Tower Threads design, you’ll find him honing his digital skills—because let’s face it, he’s the kind of guy who believes Photoshop should come with a cape.
Driven to Perfection
Joshua doesn’t settle for “good enough.” Whether it’s making sure a t-shirt print perfectly captures a control tower or ensuring that shipping is smoother than a final approach on a clear day, his dedication is unmatched. Some say he’s fueled by an obsession with design perfection, while others believe it’s just really strong coffee. Either way, he’s always pushing the limits to deliver the best.
Digital Skills Galore
As a self-proclaimed digital wizard, Joshua can take any idea and bring it to life on screen (and then on fabric). From logo creation to designing complex custom t-shirt patterns, he’s got it covered. HTML, Photoshop, Illustrator—he speaks their language fluently. Some say he can control a Photoshop layer as easily as he controls air traffic. Rumor has it he once debugged a website mid-shift. Multitasking? He’s mastered it.
A Man on a Mission
Joshua isn’t just about fashion. He’s about facility pride and ensuring that air traffic controllers have apparel that matches the magnitude of what they do. His goal? To make sure no controller is ever stuck wearing a subpar t-shirt again. It’s a lofty mission, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s Joshua R. Goolsby—a man driven by style, substance, and the endless pursuit of better t-shirts.
When he’s not working, you might find him on the golf course, perfecting his swing—because, like t-shirt design, everything can always be fine-tuned to perfection.
