Not everyone around us shares our own beliefs -- and that's okay. Open minds, open hearts, and a community where everyone belongs is Joe's wish.

Joe is currently the President of Piedmont Humanists and a member of the Interfaith Forum Board. Originally from Williamsport, PA, where he lived until the age of 30, Joe has been a resident of the Greenville area for nine years.
