His vision, passion and determination have been a bedrock to rely on as our project develops, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say: none of our progress would've been possible without Joe's partnership and participation. He's as adept at grasping abstract concepts as navigating corporate structure, an asset in any creative venture in a large business environment. He's also able to key in on the essential steps required to move a project forward. Joe's very personable, which is to say . . . he's a pleasure to work with, and someone I'm glad to call a friend. I look forward to more work together as the months and years continue!" and "It was my great pleasure to work with Joe on the acquisition of GameWorks. Always a consummate professional who also maintained a sense of humor when things were getting tough. Thumbs up all around for Joe."
