He attended university at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduated in 1984 with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering.Upon graduation, Joe moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where he met his wife, Lynn, also an engineer. Together they raised their daughter, Kinsey, 26, and their son, Aidan, 24, in Palo Alto.Joe spent his engineering career making microelectronic devices of various sorts, including semiconductors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), disk drives, lasers, and LIDAR systems.In 2018, Joe was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease just shy of turning 57. As is common for those afflicted with incurable neurological diseases, his life changed dramatically with his diagnosis though not necessarily for the worse. Shortly afterward, Joe and Lynn retired to Seattle near where Lynn had grown up and where her family still lives. Joe's new purpose is to inspire others with PD, or any other disease or medical condition, to cope through a considered and comprehensive regimen of vigorous exercise. Beyond that, he fills his time with running, writing, adventuring, and a tireless pursuit of baking world-class cookies.weniger sehen
