Joe started his triathlon career in 2016 when a work colleague got USAT Coach certified and asked Joe if he’d be his first athlete. After a couple years of knee issues with running, this seemed like just the right opportunity. After doing his first 70.3 in 2018, Joe joined the DCTri’s off-season spin and Half Ironman Program to up his game for 2019 and ended up qualifying for 70.3 Worlds. 2020 was the first year Joe is part of the Elite Team Program, which meant not much racing! But since then he’s gotten to rack up a load of racing, culminating in taking 5th overall at IM Maryland in 2023 and getting his Kona slot!
