My career in IT started in 1988 when I began building and repairing computers. Soon afterward, I formed JPB Technologies and started servicing customers in Dallas and Austin.
I am currently focused on leveraging siloed data to extract hidden information that can significantly impact operations. On the academic side, I am researching ways to assist first responders through data analysis. I have developed several applications that proactively enable command staff to manage their resources based on historical data.

Joe is not only one of the best IT professionals I know but is one of the best leaders I have ever had the privilege of working with. His tireless enthusiasm and work ethic inspires his teammates and subordinates to accomplish goals that would seem to be out of reach. While working with him at the City of Rowlett, Joe would work side by side with his team and others, literally all night long if that is what it took to get the job done. I have seen him spend several nights with his team rebuilding a dispatch center and troubleshooting and repairing networks and fiber. He leads from the front and develops his subordinates in a manner that benefits both the employer and employee to the fullest extent. Joe is a creative and talented manager who is able to get the most out of a budget and his team. His vision took an outdated one-man shop and turned it into one of the most strategic and well-run departments in the city. I would enthusiastically recommend him as a CIO.
