Even though Joe is a native of Staten Island, NY, he has lived most of his life in various parts of New Jersey, where many aspects of the Garden State have shaped him into who he is today. He's a diehard fan of the New York Yankees, New York Giants, New York Rangers, and New York Knicks, and is a Bruce Springsteen fanboy and music nerd.
