After battling depression, dropping over 100 pounds, and even going through a period of homelessness, Joe found powerlifting and never looked back. With best competition lifts of 826 lb squat, 463 lb bench, and 744 lb deadlift for a 2017 lb total at 308, he's competed on big stages like American Pro, Ghost Clash, IPL North Americans, and ABS Series meets.
