Joe moved to Texas in 1985 from training at Chanute AFB in Rantoul Illinois. He was assigned to work on the auto pilot system for the C130H at Dyess AFB. He was there when the last B-52 left the base as the B1-B took over. This move to Dyess became Joe's lifelong home in Abilene. Joe loved the people of Abilene and their kindness to the military. He knew Abilene was home!

Joe married Dawn in 1987. Their family grew by two when their daughter Leeza, and son Michael were born in Abilene. 

Today, Leeza is married. She and Malcolm are proud parents. Leeza is a graduate of Texas A&M College of Dentistry and has a Masters Degree in Bio Medical Sciences. She is a dentist in Rockwall. 

Michael graduated from Cisco College. Today he owns a welding business.

Joe and Dawn have been married for 35 years and are proud parents, and now grandparents!

In Joe's spare time, he spends it with his family. They love to take trips in their RV, riding trails on their ATVs. When they aren't traveling, you'll find them holding their new grand-baby.

Joe began selling real estate in 1993 with a local Abilene firm. He has been so fortunate to begin in real estate prior to today's technology while learning and embracing it through the years. Joe has seen a lot of change and different philosophies in the real estate industry in 29 years! 

Joe has specialty training/ certifications/designations in military relocation, working with USAA's Mover's Advantage program, USAA real estate rewards program, and Dyess Moves. He has worked with many corporate relocation companies. 

Joe is one of the founding agents of Texas Lifestyles Group. 

He believes his journey has prepared him to handle any situation for buyers and sellers.
