Upon separation from the military, Joe joined a major financial services company. He retired from this company in 2000 with nearly 30 years of service.

To date, Joe has worked directly with 205 churches in the USA, England, Scotland and South Africa and he has consulted with churches in Australia and New Zealand. He has been called to serve them as they have sought to bring clarity to their vision, develop strategic plans to enable their vision and then begin the process of implementing those plans.
