About Joe

Joe is Chicago (let's be honest, Rockford) born and raised.

He has as BA in Acting, and MFA in Directing.

From Rockford he lived in London, then San Francisco, and has been in LA over 10 years now.

He started as and Actor (yes SAG, and you can see his work in that sense by looking up Jakes Dead on Tubi...yes...tubi, but it is one of the better ones.)

He quickly moved behind the camera and became a DGA 1st AD.

He ran a company (name upon request) as their head of US Production until an injury on set forced him to step down and return to the freelance life.

While he still takes the occasional acting or 1st AD job, he primarily directs and produces currently. Open to any conversation though.

Cheers.
