About Joe:

Joe's twenty plus year career in RC began at the age of 10 with a packaged kit from the Sears Catalogue. By the age of 12 he was invited to be part of the AMA show team "Alpha Squadron" and traveled the East coast performing at airshows alongside the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds (a kid's dream). His interests led him to a Bachelors Degree in Aerospace Engineering at Notre Dame and projects with GE and McDonnell Douglas. Currently Joe enjoys a rewarding career in sports photography.

In the past 5 years Joe has been highly active in both the IMAC and Scale communities and continues to fly at many airshows on the West Coast.
