He has devoted 45 years to education as a high school mathematics teacher in Bristol, Middletown, and Attleboro MA.

He and his wife Joanne have been residents of Bristol for over 50 years. Joe enjoys bicycling, walking, gardening, and entertaining friends and family, especially his grandsons, both students in the Bristol Warren School District.
