MARGO NOVA.

Celebrating the end of 2022 with the start of a new life. Our first grandchild: Margo Nova Pena. Being a father is and will always be the most joyful experience of my life. I know being Grandpa Joe might be even more fun. Here's to a wonderful and prosperous 2023.



Making history.

Finally, after almost two years in the making, we shot the short film "History on Repeat." Now we go to the edit and watch the magic of Meena happen. I was only able to be in New Orleans for a few hours and really just observed as Meena and the tiny crew captured some very emotional scenes. Stay tuned. 








Labor of love.

 I love golf and I love the course a play most, Lakeside Park Club in Richmond. A couple years ago, a couple of us took on the challenge of rebranding the entire club - on a shoestring. Flags, scorecards, apparel, even on course signage. Our latest labor of love, a brand new club website, is now live: https://www.lakesideparkclub.com/ I supplied all the content, supported by the design wizardry of Unto Dust in Portland. Hop you enjoy, especially the club history. Fascinating.

My brother Mike has always been an amazing hockey player. So to see him recognized this weekend with entry into the Bemidji State Hall of Fame was special. He's the all-time leading scorer for the school. Best of all? Seeing my mom escort him to the podium to receive his award. So proud of Red. Cheers.
