Joe has a vast experience in leadership that began with his five years of playing Division 1 football at The Ohio State University. He went on to play in the NFL for three years followed by a four-year career in the Army, where he served honorably as an Army Ranger, deploying multiple times to the Middle East. Joe was injured during his last deployment and medically retired from the service.
