Joe brings 15+ years of experience scaling technology companies to Front Porch and is our primary contact for all tech-focused fund partners and direct investments.
Joe grew up in Virginia and attended undergrad at UVA before joining PRTM as a management consultant (after, fun fact: a few years in sports talk radio). At PRTM, he served a variety of high-profile Tech, Media and Telecom clients, before the firm was sold to PwC. Joe spent a short stint with 200,000 accountants and then scampered to Google, where he joined a nascent business within Google X called Access and Energy that included Google Fiber.
After scaling the Fiber business in the Triangle, Joe joined Digital Turbine, where he led revenue growth from $70M to $700M, including the integration of four global acquisitions. He spends most of his time on the tech side of the portfolio and is happiest elbow-to-elbow with founders and their teams. Joe is still holding tight to his “40 Under 40” award from the the Triangle Business Journal and holds a BA from UVA and MBA from Duke-Fuqua.
