BIO Joe and his wife, Maria, have four kids and live in Newport. All of his kids currently attend St. Joseph’s in West. St. Paul. Joe has had a very unorthodox career path, but has always followed his passion for the bridge between knowledge and understanding and a resolute pursuit of objective truth. In his "previous lives" as he likes to call them, he has experience as a youth minister, Theology teacher, Corporate Coach, and even owned his own business helping corporations rebuild their training and personnel programs. Outside of school, you will often find Joe outdoors hiking, rock climbing, taking pictures, and agate hunting. Beyond that, he is always up for a good board game, and is pretty much unbeatable in a game of Risk.
