Joe is a 'generalist' who loves reading widely. In addition to John Piper, Joe has been profoundly influenced by Jonathan Edwards, C.S. Lewis, and Doug Wilson. When he’s not teaching or reading, Joe loves to play basketball, ultimate frisbee, and snow football. However, his favorite activity is spending time with his wife and their two sons, Sam and Peter.
