Right out of college and possessing a strong work ethic, Joe started his own catering business. After some time, he switched careers and became a Sales Manager for Prudential Financial, where he specialized in insurance. Joe worked for many years at Prudential, where he retired at 55 years old from the company. In his retirement, Joe stayed busy by working at Foxwoods Casino as a Promotions Manager. He truly loved that job and liked interacting with customers.

In his spare time, Joe enjoyed spending time at Healthtrax, visiting the casinos to play slot machines with his wife, and painting. In his younger years, he enjoyed cruising around on his boat. Above all, Joe relished the time spent and memories made with his dear family, especially his loving great-grandchildren.
