Personal Info

About me

Joe joined WDEF News 12 as the Noon Anchor after working for 9 years in the Tri-Cities (Johnson City - Bristol - Kingsport.)  Before coming to Chattanooga, he served as Weekend Anchor at WCYB.  No stranger to Nascar while working in Bristol, Joe made-up part of the popular "Joe & Joe: Off The Track" race fan camping series.  Joe and a fellow photographer lived in an RV in the race campgrounds during the week before each Bristol race, reporting live on fan activities 4 times each day.
 
Joe grew up in the Nashville area and graduated from MTSU.  He began his broadcast career at the age of 14 at public radio station WVCP in Gallatin and continued to work in radio at WMOT while in college.  He switched to tv before graduation, landing an Anchor/Reporter position at independent station WHRT in Murfreesboro.
 
Joe enjoys baseball and probably represents the biggest Houston Astros fan in the region.  He also loves playing with his 2 kids, watching science fiction films, and making new creations in the kitchen or on the grill.
 
Thrilled to call Chattanooga home, Joe enjoys the many activities this region offers... including the Riverwalk, Riverbend, Lookouts games and the various downtown offerings.
