Joe has played an average of 250 games per year for the last 21 years. He has amassed an impressive 4000-1250 win/loss record over the years along with a career .700 batting average. He has also been awarded MVP 33 times, been named to the All Tournament Team 24 times and received the Gold Glove Award 3 times. 

Joe has played in many different tournaments including ‘B’ Worlds, ‘C’ Worlds, Major NIT’s, ‘B’ NIT’s, ‘C’ NIT’s, ‘B’ Nationals, ‘B’ New England's, ‘C’ New England's, ‘B’ New England Regionals, ‘C’ New England Regionals, Co-ed New England's, Co-ed Major Worlds, Co-ed Competitive Worlds, Mass States, and Black American Worlds. 

Joe’s greatest thrill was finally winning the USSSA Men’s Masters Division World Tournament in 2008 after years of coming in no higher than second. 

Joe states his most exciting times as just taking the field with his team and competing with the top talent around. He feels that win or lose every team he has been fortunate enough to play on went down swinging. He cherishes the rides home after winning or losing and just relaxing after a long weekend of softball. 

“Softball for me has been my life for the last 21 years. You could ask anyone that knows me and the first word they would come out with would be softball. I felt as a pitcher I could never not be there for my team. The USSSA organization is far and above the rest and second to none.” -Joe​
