Get to Know Joe

What drove you to become a supporter of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation?

I wanted to give back to our community. Knowing Joe and Jen for some time and seeing the struggles of our community members who are dealing not only with a Cancer diagnosis but also the financial hardships that often come with that diagnosis makes me want to get involved and make a difference. 

What is your favorite thing about being a JAF Board Member?

I got involved with the foundation about 12 years ago after meeting Joe on the racquetball court. 

List a “fun fact” about yourself that others may be surprised to learn.

I love to spend time with my wife Erin and son Jackson skiing, golfing and boating.
