///A little about Joe.
I became a Professional Choreographer & Composer to the World's Elite Olympic and World Champion Figure Skaters over the years, in which billions of people across the world witnessed my creations of multiple Olympic winning programs televised on hundreds of networks since 2002.

It all started out as an odd journey early on in my life.  I learned to craft my obsession in the audible arts and apply it to one of the most prestigious sports in the world thus allowing me such an opportunity.  Today I'm proud to live vicariously through the dreams of my skating clients.  Such names as Shizuka Arakawa, Michelle Kwan, Sasha Cohen, Evgeni Plushenko, and countless others.  It's a true honor for me to see their vision come to life on ice. 

To me, performing arts, music, photography, & media are all part of the same fundamental elements...  It's what I love best about art.  Once you find the similarities you can start blurring the line between each genre and truly become creative!

At 23, I started a publication business called Niche, and launched an ultra-glossy high end magazine that featured photo-journalism in New England.  I didn't realize it at the time, but I always had a love for photography.  This was a perfect segway to start applying my previous skills to a new challenge.  By 25 I successfully launched 7 issues of my quarterly publication and learned quickly that media is a never ending world of opportunity.  Shortly after Niche, my company started molding into a full fledge marketing and media company, giving my advertising clients options to enhance their online presence while creating media packages that were all inclusive and best of all, affordable! 

Today, the media business has funded my obsession with gadgets.  I still haven't lost the shutterbug, but it has morphed from static photography, to motion picture thanks to the overnight explosion of DSLR film hybrids in the recent years.  My arsenal of photography and film equipment has grown exponentially.  Everything I've done up to this point in my life is converging into one final path.  All my life's work is the culmination and preparation to my own personal goal to one day, take all the art forms I've worked with in the past, and place it into the ultimate art form.  In my eyes, it's to create a full feature film. 

Now that you know a little about me, feel free to contact me regarding your next project or just drop a line to say hi!  I wish each and everyone of you all the best.
