About Me

Joe: I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but that changed when I took a job as an oral historian in New England. I am now a museum curator, but my move to New England began a new life for me. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.

My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
