Joe V is a proud outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community both in New Jersey and around the United States. He has been the producer for various talk shows at New Jersey 101.5 since 2011, and has served as a talk show host and writer in that time. Even though Joe is a native of Staten Island, NY, he has lived most of his life in various parts of New Jersey, where many aspects of the Garden State have shaped him into who he is today. He's a diehard fan of the New York Yankees, New York Giants, New York Rangers, and New York Knicks, and is a Bruce Springsteen fanboy and music nerd. He loves to learn about local, U.S., and world history, talks way too much about fantasy football, and has been known to drive long distances for food.
