 Joe grew up near Detroit, Michigan and attended Wayne State University. He made the decision to move to Colorado while riding a chairlift on his first ski trip to Colorado. Once there he made his way into the mountains as often as possible, camera in tow.
His passion for photography led him to finish his degree at the University of Colorado- Colorado Springs where he received his BA in Communication. While attending classes he worked as a cameraman for the Colorado College Tigers hockey broadcasts, and also provided coverage for the Air Force Academy Falcons football coach’s show with Fisher DeBerry.
Not long after arriving in Vail in 2002, he found his position at Steadman Philippon Research Institute. Here he has the opportunity to use the many skills he developed in his years of photography, video production and graphic arts. At the Institute he can be found filming surgeries, running audio-visual equipment for large conferences the Institute puts on, broadcasting live surgery via satellite, or taking photos of nearly anything imaginable for PR, patient or physician education, or the newsletter or website.
"The Institute is a convergence of challenging work, service to the community, and a healthy sense of fun. The staff is really first-rate, and that’s been a great inspiration to excel in my own department."
Outside of work Joe enjoys trail running, mountain biking, climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, and photography. An avid music fan, he also plays guitar and takes advantage of the many live music venues in Vail and the Front Range.
