Joe has been building Drupal sites and contributing to the Drupal project since 2006. His work sits at the intersection of development, education, documentation, and open source community leadership.

He first joined Lullabot in 2010, helping deliver on-site Drupal training for clients. Those workshops became part of the foundation for Drupalize.Me, Lullabot’s online Drupal training platform. When Drupalize.Me spun off into its own company in 2016, Joe continued leading the effort to create and maintain practical learning materials for the Drupal community. Now back at Lullabot, he brings that same educator’s mindset to client work, documentation, and community contribution.

As a DrupalCon keynote speaker and frequent presenter at conferences and community events, Joe has spoken on topics ranging from development and documentation to community involvement. He has contributed to Drupal core, serves as a member of the Drupal Documentation Working Group, maintains the Drupal User Guide, and helped author the Drupal CMS Guide.

Drawn to Drupal by the community’s willingness to teach, document, and improve things together, Joe believes deeply in the power of shared knowledge. He enjoys making complex ideas easier to understand and helping others reach the moment when something finally clicks.

Outside of Drupal, Joe teaches snowboarding as a professionally certified instructor and enjoys spending as much time as possible outdoors with his family.
