One too many times you'll find yourself piled under textbooks trying to read Wikipedia with a pair of laser safety glasses on, or at least that is one of Joseph's excuses for not checking his Instagram feed as often as the rest of us. Good for him! With a background in engineering, a passion for learning, and a digital tool belt packed with a wide range of software skills such as CAD/CAM, GIS mapping, 3D graphics and web development, Joe can give MacGyver a run for his money. Over the years he has applied his knowledge to create digital STEM-based curriculum for k-12 educators and implement new technologies in the field of education. ‍ Joe spends his free time learning to make things, from blacksmithing decorative iron work to building I.O.T. devices like smart mirrors. His garage is basically a war zone of tools from any trade that grabs his interest from 100 year old hand planes to CNC laser engravers.
