ABOUT JOSEPH
Welcome to this crazy ride that I call my life. Everything happens for a reason - I truly believe that. Good or bad, every experience is critical to your personal and professional development. I've been knocked down more times than I can remember, yet here I am - full of life and energy. I'm a proud (life long) resident of Northeastern Pennsylvania and son of a Public School Teacher (Mom) and Serial Entrepreneur (Dad). My parents, my wife Lindsay, and my amazing sister (Shannon) and brother (Clancy) have shaped who I am and what I stand for. And as a proud parent, I look forward to continuing to pass on those experiences and knowledge to my daughter Madeline. There is power in story - and I love to share mine. Whether it's my work experiences in government or economic development, my quest for change, or even my life-long personal battles, I love to educate, inspire and motivate. Look forward to connecting soon!
