He retired in April 2005 as Regional President for Lennar Corporation, and had previously served in several capacities with growing responsibilities for U.S. Home Corporation prior to the merger with Lennar.

As Regional President for Lennar’s North Region, encompassing 16 divisions in 11 states, Joe was managing over $1.0 billion in assets, while increasing deliveries from under 2,000 units in 2000 to over 5,000 units in 2005. Joe was also responsible for more than doubling pre-tax profits for the Region during the same period, from less than $70 million in 2000 to over $150 million in 2005.

During Joe’s tenure with U.S. Home Corporation, he served as President of Operations for the North and California operations from 1992 to 2000, with responsibility for nine homebuilding and land development divisions in six states. Joe formerly served as Chairman and Interstate Division President of USH Acquisition Corporation which involved managing a manufacturing facility and 400 employees with the capacity to produce over 1,000 homes annually. In that capacity, Joe also created and managed a Special Projects Division in the acquisition of raw land, and the development and sale of hotel and apartment projects.

Joe earned a Bachelor of Art degree at the University of Houston in 1972 and was hired by U.S. Home Corporation following graduation, starting as a Project Manager, then promoted to Area Manager, and ultimately Division Vice President in Texas.
