I've found Joesph to be very warm and approachable with an ability to listen, offer insights and suggestions. I connected instantly with Joe as we're in the same age bracket and participate in similar activities. I appreciate that he will listen for as long as you are communicating your thoughts without interruption, providing means of framing situations and ways to approach specific topics when asked.
