Joe is someone who is always down to make a memory. He’s probably one of the most mellow of my friends, a producer of good times and chill vibes. 

We bonded initially over our one true love of the: New York Mets. I remember seeing all of his Mets memorabilia in his room, confirming we’d be friends for life. We managed to go to a few Mets games over the years but the best one we went to had to be the Mets game with 50 Cent. Nothing like watching the Mets get there asses kicked and then listening to 50 Cent perform “In Da Club” soon there after.  

We also share a love for niche music picks, including Drake Bell. I think Joe is the only other person in our entourage that knows the entire lyrics to “I Found A Way.” We actually got to see Drake Bell up close and personal in Brooklyn. It made for a highly nostalgic journey.

Even when we’ve had gaps in our friend resume he has always been down to fuel my creative juices. Whenever I wanted to do a project, whether it be a voiceover or shooting a video, he’s always been by my side to help make these creative pursuits come alive. Joe even took on the mantle of documenting my engagement proposal.

Joe, you’re always there to make my life a little bit easier and a lot more fun. I can’t wait to one day watch the Mets win the World Series with you… hopefully we live long enough to see that come into fruition. Something tells me, we’ll find a way.
