Joe, born in Los Angeles, first started coming to EFC-LA back in 1981. He came to accept Christ in 1983 at a VBS, but didn’t take his faith seriously until he was baptized in 1989. While growing up at this church, he served on the worship team, as a small group leader in the high school group, a deacon and a youth minister intern.
Joe currently resides in Pasadena with his wife, Christine (also from EFC-LA), and toddler, Isaac. They love playing Wii together, as well as taking strolls through Old Town Pasadena.
