Currently, Joe was employed as a Robotics Engineer at Wisconsin Automation, a job he took great pride in. In addition to his career and schooling, he was an entrepreneur and creator of his business, MSH Industries, which allowed him to follow his dream of creating from inception to finished product.

Joe was an avid outdoorsman and especially loved camping and cooking over the open fire. You could always find Joe tinkering on his latest project. He was a self-proclaimed "Joe of All Trades" and was a maker of all things, including blacksmithing and following in his father's footsteps, machining. His mother gave him the gift of storytelling, and a flair for gift-giving. One of his favorite quotes was "Shop Local."Joe also had a great love of all things natural and from nature, which inspired his work. The passion he had for life and learning touched the lives of those with whom he came into contact. His greatest joy was being a devoted husband to Aimee and dad to his beloved children.
