A native Minnesotan, Joe has enjoyed the landscapes around the globe as a resident and visitor – far flung and rarely traversed locations appeal most to Joe as he embarks on new adventures. Some of his favorites have included Thailand, Ireland, Scotland, China, and Germany.

Joe has Bachelor of Theater from St. John’s University in central Minnesota and a Master’s degree in Acting from Purdue University. His experience in theater has informed his office administration path using the focus on collaboration in both worlds and combining them into a cohesive, inclusive, and diverse whole.

In his free time, Joe enjoys exploring Minnesota state parks and continues to add miles to his long-term goal of having completed the entire Appalachian trail through section hikes. You may see Joe treading the boards of local Minneapolis theaters as well as venues with a mic and a piano.
