Joe joined the Warren Woods team as our new Family Life Pastor in May 2023. He has a deep desire for the Church to know their God and to walk according to His precepts. He believes that the family unit is an essential part of the life of the Church as spelled out in Ephesians chapter five, where the family unit acts as the example of how members of a church submit to one another through the work of the Spirit.

Prior to his role at Warren Woods, Joe was an Associate Pastor for ten years, overseeing discipleship ministries. Prior to that, he has worked in children, youth and adult discipleship roles. He is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (ThM) and Pensacola Christian College.

Joe is originally from Pennsylvania, born in the heart of PA Dutch country. He has lived in Florida and Texas, which is where he met and later married his wife Jenny in 2005. They have two beautiful children, Elaina and Elias, who go by the nicknames Tigger and Sergeant Hobbes respectively. They have three Golden Doodles; Blue, Daisy and Rusty who keep them entertained at all times of day. Joe loves basketball, cooking (especially barbecue and Italian food) and historical theology. If he was watching a Sixers playoff game with St. Augustine while eating some spaghetti bolognese, life would be close to perfect. Joe is on the hunt for the perfect Italian hoagie.
