Key to Awesomeness: “My brother has always been a hard worker,” said Joe’s sister, Amanda.  “He got his technical certificate in electrical work from Cape Cod Regional Tech, and is going to 4 C’s to pursue his degree in criminal justice.  He’s hoping to be a State Trooper.  He wants to protect those that need help and wants to make sure everyone is safe.”

“And besides all of his school work, he is also working at DJ’s and tries to go to the beach as often as possible!”

“Joe will go far no matter what he does—he grew up playing baseball and football, so he has the concept of ‘team player’ instilled in him.”
