Joe started playing guitar at age 12 in Holland, MI. He developed a lifelong love of music, and though he took a different career path, he never stopped studying, practicing, and performing music. Well-versed in diverse musical styles, Joe has studied privately with accomplished jazz musicians Rodney Whitaker, Jeff Hedberg, and David Baise, and plays with the Harper College Jazz Ensemble and Buffalo Grove Jazz Band, performing regularly throughout the northwest Chicago suburbs. Joe enjoys playing as a "cocktail guitarist" (to borrow Jake Reichbart's term, adding interest and ambiance to any occasion by playing a mix of well-known jazz, pop, and latin songs. He also loves to take the stage and wow an audience with high-energy, technically complex guitar and ukulele arrangments. Always an enthusiastic collaborator, Joe enjoys working with vocalists and instrumentalists as an accompanist or band member.
