Joshua Burt
Founder & Self-Direction Broker
“I’m Joshua Burt, the founder of Brothers Brokerage and a dedicated self-direction broker. My journey into this
field started with my younger brother, Jacob, who has Down syndrome. Watching Jacob grow and thrive with the
support of self-direction services inspired me to help other families access the same life-changing opportunities.
I understand firsthand the challenges that come with navigating the OPWDD system, and I’m committed to guiding
families through it with compassion and expertise. Whether it’s building a Circle of Support, developing a person-
centered plan, or managing staff, I take pride in empowering individuals to take control of their lives and achieve their goals.
Specializations:
- Circle of Support Facilitation
