“Joe and I first crossed paths in the specialty finance space years ago and we have been friends ever since. I quickly realized in working with Joe that he had a work ethic unlike anything I had ever witnessed. Quite honestly, I began to question if Joe ever slept. To this day, that goes unanswered. Early on in our friendship one thing that became abundantly clear was that Joe’s ethical compass was as strong as his work ethic. I have personally witnessed Joe take the hard road because it was the ethical road to take. The man beats to a different drum and we all were better off because of it.” - Bill H., Former Senior Portfolio Analyst, JH Capital Group
