A Time To Be Born - Ecclesiastes 3:2

A Time To Live - Amos 5:4

Big Joe was educated in Hawaii and South Carolina public school systems.  He was awarded a football scholarshhip to play at Charleston Southern University (formerly Baptist College) where he honed his skills as a linebacker and pledged Phi Beta Sigma. Big Joe has always had a passion and enthusiasm for big rigs.  Ironically being an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, his first job driving was with Cowboys Logistics, mainly because of the name and that the owner was just as big of a Cowboy fan. Big Joe’s last haul was with C&C Freedom Properties, LLC

At an early age, Big Joe accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal saviour at Saint Paul Presbyterian Church under the leadership of Reverend McKinley Washington, Jr.
