Joe attended Northmont Elementary School in Newark and graduated from Northmont High School in Englewood, Ohio. Joe graduated from Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio.
In 2018, Joe married the love of his life Denise Colvin of Xenia, Ohio. Joe worked for many years at Walmart in Athens, Ohio, and most recently at Goodwill in Xenia. Joe was an active
