A native of southern California, Joseph graduated from Thomas Aquinas College in 1999. After graduation, he worked for eleven years in the Development Office there, where responsibilities included foundation and donor research, grant writing and reporting, gift solicitation, and database management. In 2007, he followed Greeley’s advice to go West—a move, oddly enough, that involved heading East to Wyoming—arriving in Lander just before the first class of Wyoming Catholic College students. His interests include classical music, writing, photography and cinematography, coaching Little League baseball, exploring the beautiful Wind River Mountains, keeping track of his (currently) seven sons, being amazed by his (currently) lone daughter, and thanking his lucky stars for Netflix.
