He has an impact on all those he encounters! Joe is very smart and gifted but does not seek the limelight, he has a quiet confidence that is refreshing!”

“The first words that come to mind when describing JackSimonetti are kindness, integrity, and humility. Jack is kind to everyone, true to his word, and desires no acclaim.
