Joe is a graduate of Eastern High School himself and is proud of our students who attend Eastern and the achievements accomplished by them in both academics and athletics. Joe served on the Gibbsboro Board of Education and believes that we must give our children an outlet for their energies through school, community and church. Giving something back to his community is what he has tried to do during his nine years as a member of Borough Council.

For the past two years while in the majority Joe has strived to make Gibbsboro a better place to live. One of his priorities has been reducing residents complaints regarding the response time to public works requests, upgrading the image of our public works department through uniforms for employees and removing the politics from the police department . Under his leadership the police department has become a full partner with the community.

A member and former co-president of Project Graduation since its inception six years ago, this worthwhile project is his commitment to our teenagers. Project Graduation raises funds for a graduation evening without alcohol. Hoagie Sales, the Christmas House Tour and other monthly activities are held during the year to raise funds. This years attendees was the largest ever in the history of Project Graduation ­ 330 Seniors boarded buses for a fun filled evening at the shore. "There is so much pressure on our young people today, I want to have them enjoy their school years without relying on drugs and alcohol.
