Joseph attended Salinas High School then graduated from Mount Toro in 2009. He went on to attend and graduate from Lifestyle Christian University and from the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences.

He had a entrepreneurial spirit. He worked as an Audio Engineer and also owned two businesses, an auto detailing (Moonshine Auto Detailing) and a shoe buy sell trade business (JKicks831).  He didn’t start these businesses to simply have a larger income, he started these businesses with intention, to be able to give more.

One of Joseph’s life goals was to work for the Salinas Police Department. He wanted to do this for his family and to be part of change in his community. He was on his way there, having completed the training and passing his exams.

He loved spending time with his family. Lake trips and beach outings were his favorite. He was an avid Raiders, Giants, Warriors and Sharks fan.

Joseph was known and will be remembered by his giving spirit, his strong and bold faith, his heart to serve and the way he loved people so well, sparking conversations with those many wouldn’t. Everything he did was with a humble heart and his family in mind.
