Proving that he's not your average Joe, the 31-year-old Smithtown resident assisted Paul Riley in guiding the Fury to the 2006 and 2009 WPSL national championships.

"Joe is a first-class coach with great human qualities, a wide range of training knowlege and the ability to get the most out of players," commented Riley. "He has been coaching with me for 13 years and he is exemplary in his organizational approach to the game.".

Joe played for Coach Riley at CW Post from 1995 to 1998. Since graduation, he has competed for the Forest Park and Glen Cove teams in the Long Island Soccer Football League.

Joe describes his best moment on the soccer field as "winning the first of three regional championships as a coach of the HBC Fury," the superb youth team in Huntington.
