A proud U.S. Navy Veteran and firefighting family with six Children from Lakeland, Tennessee.
Joe has been a firefighter for more than 20 years and currently serves as a firefighter paramedic with the Memphis Fire Department, where he continues his lifelong mission of helping people and protecting his community.
Julie is a U.S. Navy veteran and dedicated advocate with a long history of fighting for others- from Social Security and VA disability benefits to free speech and consumer protection.
Both of their Sons are serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, and their daughter recently graduated high school with her associate's degree and is pursuing her Bachelors in Biochemistry with a minor in Public Health. Their three youngest boys fill their days with energy, laughter, and let’s be honest- exhaustion.
Through every challenge- including their ongoing fight for justice and accountability- their mission has remained the same: to stand up for what’s right, defend those who can’t, and make sure no one is silenced when they speak the truth.
