Over the next four years, he transitioned into programming and systems programming. From there, he went on to work at MuRata Erie in State College, where he was promoted to Systems Analyst, Project Manager, and ultimately to Client Services Manager.
Joe’s passion for technology and leadership led him to open Solution Technologies, Inc. in Altoona, PA, in 1994, which he expanded to its first Western PA branch in Pittsburgh in 1995, growing the branches to over thirty consultants in Altoona and twenty in Pittsburgh. He led the Altoona division when the company was sold to Metro Information Services in 2000, winning several months of YO (Your Outstanding) awards for highest profitable branches in the 42-branch company.
In 2001, Joe Joined Link Computer Corporation to start the company’s IT Staffing Division. Joe was the VP of IT Staffing until 2009, building a successful practice in both Altoona and Pittsburgh for staffing information technology professionals.

After a three-year break to coach at the collegiate level at NYU PolyTechnic as the pitching coach, Joe returned to BG in 2014.
In 2015, Joe became the Head Coach of Women’s Softball at PSU Altoona, where he coached for over six years, leaving as the winningest active coach in athletics.
