In 2020, after retiring as host of the popular morning show on Q92 in Poughkeepsie, New York, he joined the wonderful crew of local broadcasters at WALL Radio, hosting the morning show from 8 to noon every Saturday and Sunday. Joe is a devoted advocate of the power of local radio to entertain, inform, inspire and connect people in a community and now, the even larger community of listeners online, making local radio even more relevant today than ever before.

He has earned two Honorable mentions on Billboard songwriting Contest and has taught piano and bass at East Coast Music in Danbury, CT.

Ozzmosis
The members of the band take great pride in creating the next best thing to a live Ozzy performance that transports you through time to experience the energy of Ozzy Osbourne capturing his solo career from Randy Rhoads to Zakk Wylde. As the song says, “You can’t kill rock-n-roll, it’s here to stay!” Ozzmosis proves it every time. Join us on this journey of classic metal and relive the complete Ozzy phenomenon.
