Currently Joseph is thrilled to be working with Orlando Shakes as the understudy for Mr. Marks in Intimate Apparel. Before moving to Orlando Joseph lived in Austin, TX, with his partner Michael Krauss, set designer for Fear the Walking Dead. A little homesick at times, Joseph has fallen in love with the vibrancy of the arts in central Florida, has scouted all the best coffee shops in Orlando, and will forever be a beach bum.
