“Joseph is one of the strongest community leaders I have ever met. He combines insight and understanding of communities with operational knowledge to ensure that goals and projects are advanced. He also excels in outreach across organizations to foster broader support of important initiatives. Last but not least, Joseph is extremely committed and a pleasure to work with.” November 15, 2007
-Roy Rodenstein, CEO, Going, Inc. (formerly HeyLetsGo, Inc.)

“Joseph is a visionary. He sees a need, calls himself to action without waiting for someone else to ask him, rallies others around him and makes an impact on his community and the people around him. He is a thinker, a connector (in the way that Malcolm Gladwell describes in The Tipping Point), and an innovator. He is aware of his areas for growth and seeks out support people to help where he needs it. One example of this is the production of a Neighbors for Neighbors electronic newsletter. He has a writer and editor who works on this to alleviate his workload and allow him to focus on other areas. He engaged me in helping with volunteer management since this is an area of expertise that I have that Joseph doesn't have as much experience with. I would recommend Joseph to any company looking to move forward in their vision for their future. He is dedicated to strengthening the city, his direct community as well as whatever area in which he works.” November 13, 2007
