This past September, Joesph survived two major heart attacks. His positivity and calmness were felt even while he was on leave recovering. He was able to make a full recovery two months later, returning to work in service to his fellow veterans. Throughout Joesph’s impressive 20-year military career, he excelled in various roles, including civil engineering plumber, pararescue (PJ) member, scheduling and training manager and aircrew instructor. His outstanding performance led to numerous recognitions and awards, including two Air Medals for daring rescue missions.
