Here’s what a couple of colleagues had to say about Joe: 

Mallory Wohlford said, “Joe continues to output an obscene amount of top-level development work on a regular basis and is still willing to help any teammate that reaches out. He becomes the champion of his projects and always has enough patience left in him to walk me through his feats and explain everything in non-technical people's words. I think we can all agree that we would not be as far as we are today as a company without him.” 
 
Jess Veren agrees, “Joe simply amazes me. He goes above and beyond on every project no matter the size or who the stakeholder is to output an exceptional product or site. HMECommerce would not be the solution it is shaping into today without Joe's work and vision. Joe has also been impactful for helping with the Azure migration project and working closely with Sam and Ty! Thank you, Joe. “ 

Thanks again for all you do for VGM Forbin! Congratulations, Joe! A heartfelt thank you for your dedicated efforts that helped contribute to the success of VGM Forbin. We look forward to shining the spotlight on more exceptional team members in the next month as we continue to celebrate the outstanding contributions of our staff.
