Joe's earliest water memories are of his mother scraping the bottom of their Chris Craft cabin cruiser in a Sausalito boat yard, his father running aground in a very muddy part of San Pablo Bay, snorkleing the blue waters of the Carribean as a 4 year old, body surfing in Hawaii, and fishing for bullheads with his friends in Tiburon. Joe has passion to share his love of the water with others.
