Passionate about programs and services designed to help people with disabilities and other barriers live, work, and play in their communities, Joe devotes as much time as possible to his favorite non-profits: Fedcap Rehabilitation Services and its subsidiaries, including Easter Seals. A lifelong New Yorker, Joe lives in Brooklyn with Diane, his wife of 34 years and they are the proud parents of two grown sons. In his spare time, Joe is an avid golfer, enjoys skiing, and occasionally picking up his guitar.
