Much of the time between then and now is filled with almost 11 years of service in the U.S. Navy. Along with being gainfully employed by the Department of Art, Architecture + Art History at the University of San Diego as their head studio technician Joe is currently in his third year as an MFA candidate in the Visual Arts department at UCSD where he is engaged in the development of an art practice that meaningfully integrates his obsession with second-hand shopping.
