About Joe
I am a life-long resident of RI having grown up in Scituate and Johnston. Now nearly 50, my wife and I moved to Cranston more than 20 years ago.
I am a US Navy veteran though I've worked in the technology field for nearly all of my life. Most of my work is in organizational improvement.
My children, of which I am immensely proud, have attended parochial school throughout thier careers and we are very happy with the results we get there. I remain a strong advocate of public education...with reservations.
Politics...I am a small-L libertarian, neither liberal nor truly conservative. I believe the past, present, and future of America lies in our American conviction that the people should be as free as possible in order maxmize opportunity for ALL.
