An ultra-endurance power athlete, renowned fitness trainer, motivational author and speaker, Joe is a personal testament to overcoming fitness obstacles and leads by example. After serving three years in the Army with the 10th Mountain Division, Joe graduated from Western Illinois University with a B.S. degree in Exercise Science.

In addition, Joe has completed many of the world's toughest endurance and strength events, including the 520-mile Raid Gauloises, the 152-mile Marathon des Sables, the Badwater 135, the Grand Slam of UltraRunning, the Tough Guy Challenge UK and numerous Strongman Competitions. Joe has appeared on The Today Show, Discovery Health, The Early Show, The O'Reilly Factor, and Fox News and has been featured in many media outlets, including The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Baltimore Sun, Men's Fitness, Muscle and Fitness, Men's Health and GQ. His charity work includes founding a scholarship program from his winnings on The Weakest Link.
