A proud Air Force veteran, Joe went to college on the GI Bill. He had a double major: French and Spanish, minor in philosophy. He did his graduate work at the University of Kansas on a three-year fellowship to study French, Spanish and linguistics.
He was in academia for about 15 years, teaching mainly French Literature.
Joe left the university and moved to the business world in mid-life. Eventually, he combined his earlier technical background with his language skills to market industrial machinery through his own company. Retired in 2001.
A life-long student, with very eclectic tastes, he continues to study languages—now reasonably fluent in five. Besides keeping up with scientific and technical discoveries, he also enjoys reading fiction and poetry as well as history, philosophy and politics. He escapes from books and academic stuff by regularly riding his bicycle and trying to keep limber with his Tai-kwon-do exercises.
