The list of his accomplishments include being a member of Tantric, Drama Gods (with Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme & Rhiana), Hurtsmile (with Gary Cherone of Extreme & Van Halen & Slip Kid), Steelheart and Dark Desert Eagles (with Pat Badger of Extreme & Nasty Ass Honey Badgers) for starters.  Joe has shared the stage with greats like Perry Farrell of Janes Addiction, George Lynch of Dokken, Michael Anthony of Van Halen, Warren DeMartini of Ratt and Mike Mangini of Dream Theater. Joe has opened for icons Like Carlos Santana, Bret Michaels, Alice In Chains, Sammy Hagar, Jeff Beck, YES and Judas Priest.
