As an undergraduate student, Joseph entered an essay contest and was published for his essay addressing the history of religious persecution in the United States. His researched piqued his interest in religious freedom, which ultimately led him to become involved with the International Center for Law and Religion Studies. This summer he served as one of the Center’s fellows in Frankfurt, Germany, and researched tax law relating to religious organizations. Joseph and his wife Mary have an eighteen-month old daughter who constantly keeps them on their toes.
