“I want everyone who comes to be as entertained as possible, so they’ll have a memorable time. And they’ll come back."
Joseph has always been entrepreneurial. As a child, he started a business doing odd jobs such as raking leaves and cleaning out garages in his hometown of Poughkeepsie. He even resold his Halloween candy.
At Monroe, Joseph took full advantage of the opportunities available. He was a mid-distance runner on the track team, active in the sports business club, and served as a resident assistant. His involvement with the Sports Management Club was particularly significant. Being an athlete who loved business, focusing on sports management was a natural fit for him.
During his junior year, Joseph became President of the Sports Management Club, which provided him the chance to attend a three-day MLB conference in Arizona. The goal was to meet representatives from as many major and minor league teams as possible, which eventually led to an offer from the Yankees. Joseph graduated from Monroe in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services.
After graduation, he worked for the NY Yankees for 6 years as a Sales Associate and eventually as an Account Executive. Through this position, he worked with business clients and large groups to fill as many Yankee Stadium seats as possible. Now, Joseph works as an Account Executive at Bookings.com.
Joseph credits Monroe for his success, emphasizing that the teachers, who are industry professionals, provided invaluable real-world insights and experiences.
