Joe, from Chicago’s western suburbs, fell in love with horse racing at the 2015 Arlington Million (G1) after witnessing The Pizza Man’s electrifying win. Inspired, he began photographing the horses and people at Arlington Park and Hawthorne Race Course.
Guided by top Illinois racing photographers, including All About The Race contributor Tom Ferry, Joe’s work has received notable recognition. His photos “Danada Farm Training Track” and “Against All Odds” were featured in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame’s Juried Photo Finish Exhibition. His images also appeared in the 2021 Keeneland November Sale catalog and the Glacier Park Conservancy’s 2023 calendar.
When not at the track, Joe enjoys capturing nature and wildlife, fishing, hiking, and exploring National Parks.
