Joe was always a pleasure to work with. He was a true asset to our team and always demonstrated positivity, professionalism, and warmth towards everyone around him. His professional background and level of education also speak volumes.

Angel Natal, STS

Joe has the desire and initiative to accomplish any task! I recall a brief discussion with him about asking how he is with deadlines and the thought alone of not meeting a deadline made Joe's response priceless, "I don't miss deadlines!" As many organizations are challenged with the recruitment, development and retention of employees, Joe has always been a leader many can count on!
