Joe has served as a shepherd at Tri-County Bible Church in Madison, Ohio since 2005. He's been a believer in Jesus Christ since childhood. He grew up in Vermont, North Carolina, a short bit in Moscow, but mostly in the greater Philadelphia area (making him someone who proudly bleeds green). He earned his bachelor's degree in graphic design and has a lifelong interest in the art of animation. He graduated with an M.Div from BJU in 2005, and he's currently finishing up a D.Min in Applied Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary under the direction of Jim Hamilton. He and his wife Hannah have four children.
