I’m Joe, a visual journalist based in Minneapolis. I’ve worked in television news and live sports as a photographer, editor, reporter, director and producer. My work has aired nationally on PBS News Weekend and has earned multiple awards from the Montana Broadcasters Association.

While my professional career has been in video, still photography is what originally drew me to visual storytelling, and it remains something I dedicate significant time to. My still photography work has included assignments for the Flathead Beacon and projects for nonprofits and small businesses

If you like what you see on my site, send me an email. I’d love to talk about how we can work together.

I grew up in Reno, Nevada, and studied journalism at the University of Montana.
