Joe graduated from Henry Ford High School and received his bachelor’s degree from Wayne State University. He has been working in research (drug discovery) for Wayne State and now Henry Ford Health System since graduating. Joe always had a passion for sports growing up and was able to pass this along to his daughter in the various sports she wanted to try. Whether it was just being a “helper” Dad or being one of the coaches, he always wanted to help the girls learn how to play the games the way they should be played. Joe has spent time coaching in the CYO (3 years), AAU (8 years) and at the high school (1 year - Freshman). He has been married to his wife Julie for 25 years and they have 1 daughter, Jordyn, who attends and plays volleyball at Alma college. If Jordyn would not have been lucky enough to continue playing the game, we all love, Joe would have stayed on with LCN and continued as the coach of the Freshman team instead of wanting to travel around the State to see her play. Working with the girls and teaching them not only lessons on the floor, but lessons in life, is something that is very important to Joe. Coaching is much more than what happens between the lines or on the court.
