Joe was first appointed as Chapter Director for Delta-Beta (ΔΒ) Chapter of ΣΠ Fraternity in August 2003. Prior to graduating, Joe served as (ΔΒ Chapter's Sage (President) for two terms during 2001 and 2002. He also served as the Social Chairman, Fundraising Chairman, Community Service Chairman, Risk Management Chairman, and Assistant New Member Educator. Outside of ΔΒ Chapter, Joe was a member of several honor societies and served as the President of the Inter-Fraternity Council at Monmouth University.
Once he was appointed Chapter Director, Joe focused on several core programming items including maintaining and improving on the Chapter's tradition of excellence, upgrading all areas of chapter operations, alumni development, and fundraising for chapter scholarships and other purposes. In support of these efforts, he joined with several other alumni to found the Jersey Shore Alumni Club in July 2004. Further, in support of his efforts to raise money to support the active chapter's academic and educational pursuits, he created the ΔΒ Chapter Educational Fund with the Sigma Pi Educational Foundation in December 2005.
For his efforts, Joe was recognized with Sigma Pi Fraternity's Lyle H. Smith Award for Most Outstanding Chapter Director for the 2002 – 2004 biennium and again for the 2004 – 2006 biennium. In August 2006, Joe was appointed to serve as New Jersey Province Archon, making him responsible for the results of all chapters and alumni clubs across the state. His efforts in building the New Jersey Province into a powerful region of the Fraternity were recognized when he was awarded the Curtis G. Shake Award for Most Outstanding Province Archon for the 2006 – 2008 biennium. In August 2008, he was also elected to serve a four-year term on the Sigma Pi Educational Foundation's Board of Trustees. He served as the Foundation's Treasurer from August 2010 through August 2012. He did not seek re-election when his term expired so he could spend more time developing the programs at ΔΒ Chapter, where he resumed his role as Chapter Director in 2010.
Joe served as Chapter Director again until August 2016, when he was elected to serve as the Vice President (Grand Second Counselor) of Sigma Pi Fraternity's Grand Council. In 2018, Joe was elected as Sigma Pi Fraternity's Grand Sage (International President), marking the first time that a ΔΒ Chapter alumnus was elected to the Fraternity's highest position. Joe filed to run for re-election as Grand Sage, marking the first time in 70 years that a Grand Sage filed to run for a second term. He was unopposed in this effort and is serving a second term as Grand Sage through the 2020 – 2022 biennium.
Joe works for a statewide, nonprofit loan fund where he and his team manage just under $1 billion in community investments around New Jersey. He focuses on providing financing to charter schools, early care centers, colleges, supportive housing, commercial projects, and small businesses located in economically distressed areas across the state. He is also an Instructor at Monmouth University's Leon Hess Business School where he teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses on ethics, strategic management, and business analysis. Previously, Joe served as an online instructor for Thomas Edison State University where he instructed the university's nonprofit management curriculum. In addition to these activities, Joe owns several successful small businesses and volunteers for nonprofit organizations in his community.
