After watching The Army Golden Knights jump into a darkened Raymond James Stadium at the Moster Truck Jam, Joseph decided that night druing his 8th grade year at Terrace Community Middle School that he wanted to make a career out of serving in the military and attending West Point. Since that night, he has worked diligently towards his goal. He attended numerous Leadership Conferences all over the state and the US. Joseph is a member of the King High School KAPS Program where he served all 4 years as Class Vice-President, team captain of his Wrestling Team and a member of the NJROTC.
On Friday, March 29th, Joseph's dream of attending West Point became a reality. That day, he received his appointement to USMAPS (United States Military Academy Prep School).
