J.B. Buse, Jr., serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at LOTH. For more than 30 years, J.B. has led LOTH’s success through his entrepreneurial spirit and ability to adapt solutions to meet ever-changing business needs. Recently, his passion for inspiring dialogue led to focused discussions on mental health in the workplace, and he was featured on this M+A Architects podcast on the importance of mental wellness.

Well known for his creativity and competitiveness, one can often find J.B. lightening the mood and inspiring fun by strumming his guitar, and singing tunes throughout the office… and if not that, you’ll likely find him on one of Cincinnati’s great golf courses!

My favorite memory at LOTH was reaching my career milestone of 30 years of building LOTH to what it is today. While 2020 may have altered the celebrations, I enjoyed the virtual socially-distant events hearing from friends, family and business associates who helped us achieve so much after three decades. The custom Cincinnati Reds jersey was a bonus!
