Joe was very active in the webhosting and internet industry over the last 10 years. Before joining ServerCentral, Joe successfully started and sold three startup tech companies in the Chicago area. During his time with ServerCentral, Joe primarily acted as director for the WingSix webhosting division and successfully re-launched the brand as a separate product. Joe also worked as a consultant on various internet projects. In his private life, Joe was active in skydiving, an avid hockey fan, and was continuing his education at DePaul University.

Since being diagnosed with IPF, Joe was working with the Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago and the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis to help raise awareness for people with lung disease. He recently spoke in favor of stricter limits on ozone at an EPA hearing for National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Joe was enthusiastic and energetic in all aspects of his work and life. He was full of ideas and always eager to explore new possibilities. Joe was not just a colleague, but a friend to many of us inside and outside of work. He will be greatly missed.
