Joe started singing sacred polyphony and chant with his local parish at age 13. His love of the art continued through high school and into college, where he was a four-year member of several different ensembles (including a fledgling Floriani) while double-majoring in philosophy and theology. After graduating Thomas Aquinas College, Joe earned his MSB from the Catholic University of America and worked for the SBA until departing that role for Floriani.
Joe is also an avid reader, enjoys board games and coffee, and has worked on nearly 40 stage and musical productions, playing roles like Lancelot (Camelot), The Pirate King (Pirates of Penzance), Tevye (Fiddler on the Roof), Aeneas (Dido and Aeneas), and Don Quixote (Man of La Mancha).
