Joe works with the Leap team of Physios and Exercise Physiologists to coordinate VALD appointments for long term injury management. He also sees all patient groups including NDIS.

He is currently involved in a research project with Monash University involving growth plate injuries in the heel and knee. Joe keeps up-to-date with all things podiatry by reading widely and listening to sports medicine and podiatry podcasts.

Outside of work he is keeping busy as a  Dad to Teddy, and spoiling his dog Bonte. As well as being a one-eyed Western Bulldogs fan, Joe is just as passionate about mental health awareness and is a speaker for Beyond Blue. He also loves cooking, great food and coffee with the occasional glass of good red wine. Joe is a self-confessed Happy Sock addict with over 30 pairs of pair bright and weird socks.
