High Flyer. Truth Champion. Friendly Face.

Most Likely to Brighten Your Day

A career pilot, Joseph has traveled to 29 different countries in the cockpit of a plane. No matter what the location, or language, or culture, his mantra has remained a constant—being friendly matters.

Joseph was born in Charlotte, North Carolina as one of six children. After university, he joined the United States Air Force, where he served as a pilot for eight years, including flying during the Vietnam War. After his service ended, he joined TWA-Trans World Airline, where he flew for two decades and got to see the world.

A kind face no matter where he landed, Joseph prizes honesty and the importance of loving your neighbors. Now that he’s landed at Bella Terra, his favorite things to do are laugh with those around him, try out local restaurants, enjoy all that his community has to offer, and, of course—be a friendly face to all wherever he goes.
