The son of a teacher and home winemaker, Joe grew up around wine. After graduating from the University of Washington in 2000, Joe began working at Seattle's iconic Wild Ginger Restaurant, mostly for the opportunity to travel and have fun in his early twenties.
After his epic journey through Europe with Bob Dylan, Joe started to pursue winemaking. He moved to Walla Walla after volunteering at the Betz Family Winery in Woodinville, and interned at Seven Hills Winery. Before he founded Tempus Cellars, he was instrumental in growing Dunham Cellars' production from 10,000 cases per year to 25,000.
