Find out more about Joe:

A seasoned writer/broadcaster, Joe applied his skills to the MMA beat in 2007 as co-founder of the popular Rear Naked Choke radio show on JoeTed.com. Becoming embedded with the top names in the sport, he has worked hard to earn his credibility with fighters, trainers, promoters and executives, establishing many key relationships along the way. He whole-heartedly embraced the unique and non-traditional way MMA fans need their sport covered online despite significant mainstream media experience. Joe has interviewed many big names, including Randy Couture, Gina Carano, and Renzo Gracie, and New Jersey-based fighters such as Frankie Edgar, Mike Massenzio, the Miller brothers (Dan and Jim), and Kurt Pellegrino.

Joe earned his communications B.A. from Fordham University in 1991. Check out his New Jersey Devils Examiner page. Contact Joe.
