Joseph's family heritage is deeply rooted in a long line of military service, as he is both the son and grandson of esteemed Army Generals. This rich military legacy has been a constant presence throughout his life, with his childhood spent in the picturesque Hudson River Valley, mere proximity to the prestigious United States Military Academy at West Point. Notably, his great-uncle Henry Fuqua held the esteemed position of Governor of Louisiana during the 1920s, a legacy that stretches back even further to his great-great-great-grandfather William C. Gibbs, who served as Governor of Rhode Island in the 1820s.
Joseph currently calls Ventura, California his home, where he is deeply involved with The Rubicon Theatre Company, a prestigious organization that has proudly appointed him as its inaugural representative, a testament to his dedication and commitment to the arts.
