Joe suffered from multiple addiction for more than 20 years, mainly due to undiagnosed mental health conditions including Bipolar Disorder II, severe depression, anxiety and adult ADHD. Joe voluntarily entered inpatient treatment in November of 2008 and has been in recovery ever since.
Joe spent more than 35 years in the broadcast media industry as an on-air talk talent, program director, talent coach and developer, and an Emmy Award-winning voice talent, operating radio stations in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Rochester, MN and Sioux Falls SD. He’s also a cancer survivor and a long-time volunteer of other nonprofits.
After 35 years as successful talk radio host, program director, public media network manager, talent coach/developer and an Emmy award-winning voice talent, Joe joined Face It TOGETHER, an addiction wellness nonprofit, as a peer addiction coach in 2017. Joe has extensive personal and coaching experience with addiction and mental health conditions, including bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety. His dynamic career daily put him a place where highly creative talent, mental health and addiction intersect. Often that intersection ran smoothly, but there were also massive crashes. Sometimes Joe got caught up in the wreckage.
