Joe's Story
I moved up to Reed City with my dad after graduation and lived there for one year. After that I moved back to Wisconsin and worked in construction for five years. Then I got married, went back to college, and became a Special Education teacher. During the summers I run my own residential construction business. I have three kids: Joe 12, Andrea 10, and Danica 4. I divorced Patti after 14 years and have not looked back once. I have been teaching for 12 years and just finished my masters degree. I am five courses away from earning my math certificate and plan to do that within the next two years. I hunt and fish a lot. I shot two deer with a bow that qualify for the Wisconsin record books and have a 16.5 inch 3 lb 11 oz Crappie I caught a few years ago. I have not fished any bass tournaments in the last 5 years but plan to start again this spring. I have not found a woman yet that can keep up with me in the kitchen. I was coaching volleyball for a number of years and my high school team was ranked in the top 10 in the state my final season. I sent numerous players off to play in college and three with division 1 scholarships. I also ran a volleyball club with up to 130 players for several years traveling all over the country competing in tournaments. We did play one Mich...Expand for more
igan team in Chicago area tournament (sorry we won). You still have a screwed up volleyball and basketball season which makes it difficult for us to compete against your club teams. When I started back to college I attended a two year school that was an extension of the UW-Wisconsin system. There I was player/coach for the men's volleyball team and finished 19th at nationals competing against many division one schools. Subsequently though I have had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders and my right one needs to be done again. Life is interesting and nothing like I thought it would be. The irony of being a student that hated education to now being a teacher and trying to get the best out of my students. I was a handful as a child for my parents and hated structure, now I am a disciplined parent demanding a lot from my own children. I drive a truck and flew to Florida one weekend with my girlfriend to see Allan Jackson in concert. I spent two year boxing when I first moved to Wisconsin and am trying to get my son into MMA. He prefers video games and TV. Andrea is a force to recon with though. She is a terror on the soccer field and is very competitive. Danica is the baby and is a major daddy's girl. I can not say no to her. So there is my last 21 years in a nutshell.
