When Joe was eight years old, he managed to build a 100% accurate 3D representation of the interior of the CIA building at Langley - even the top-secret parts where photography is prohibited - in Worldcraft.

Gabe Newell was moved to declare that Joe "understands more about the dynamics of communicating and marketing on the internet than 95% of the vice-presidents of large game publishers". Despite this he is unable to find employment of any kind whatsoever.
