Get to Know Joseph
My fondest TFC memory was the performance of Bach's motet Jesu Meine Freude in 2019. Jesu Meine Freude is my favorite choral work of all time. I've listened to it more times than I can count, but by random chance our 2019 performance was actually the only time I have ever performed the work in its entirety.
My life's motto is "Duty is the sublimest word in the language; you can never do more than your duty; you shall never wish to do less."
I'm passionate about My family and my work.
The piece I could listen to on repeat is The Beatles Abbey Road album, because it's a great album.
If I could only watch three TV shows for the rest of my life, they would be The Sopranos, The Wire, and Seinfeld.
Step Brothers is one of my favorite movies because it's the Catalina Wine Mixer!
I love the New England Patriots, because I was born and raised in the south shore of Massachusetts.
I want to meet Tom Brady.
