Josh Dixon

Josh Dixon is a former Team USA Gymnast, Entrepreneur and Professional Sports Team Owner (Chicago Red Stars). He is the first LGBTQ Person of Color to own a stake in a professional sports team.

The Bay Area is where it all started. Being adopted into a diverse, multi-racial, and tremendously supportive and loving family gave Dixon an immediate lens into inclusion and matters of race and gender equity. His parents taught him how to dream big, work hard, the importance of education, and not to be afraid of failure.

The first 26 years of Dixon's life were very sports centric. Gymnastics allowed him to experience being a student-athlete at Stanford University and then onwards to Team USA through two Olympic Cycles. The sporting arena was and continues to be such a unique environment. For Dixon, it taught discipline. Revealed physical and mental pressure points. Delivered the importance of coaches, teachers, mentors, and teammates. Allowed him to identify a commitment to service and contributions to others.

Post-sports, Dixon brings a strong sense of responsibility to be a voice and representation on matters of racial and gender-equity, LGBTQ inclusion, and scholastic opportunity to young students and student-athletes. He has embarked on a journey that involves a diverse professional agenda. One that led him to working within the US Senate, a consulting group, a family-office, and now his own MBE certified and LGBTE certified strategic-consulting business.
