Wade Burghoffer
CEO
Wade Burghoffer is a Southern Iowa original — a man who somehow went from gravel roads and farm chores to traveling the world, usually finding himself in places he never planned to be. Fueled by grit, stubborn follow-through, and a practical outlook earned the hard way, Wade leads with plainspoken wisdom and an instinct for what actually works.
He carries himself with the confidence of someone who’s been tested early and often. Knock him down, and he stands back up with clarity, humor, and a better plan. Wade’s leadership style is grounded, direct, and quietly resilient — shaped by real responsibility, not theory.
Beneath the jokes and self-deprecation is a leader who is steady, fair, and remarkably dependable. He helps guide JoyBug with intuition sharpened by experience, keeping teams grounded, projects moving, and expectations honest.
In short: Wade Burghoffer brings grit, loyalty, and real-world judgment to JoyBug. If he’s involved in your project, you can count on consistency, straight answers, and follow-through that lasts.
