When Joseph’s not at work, he loves going on cruises or visiting his favorite theme park, Dollywood! He also loves exploring the “Best-bank” of New Orleans, which is where he and his husband live with their two bulldogs, Big Baby and Carl Dean. Joseph is also a float lieutenant in one of the largest Carnival krewes in the city, and loves going to as many balls, parades, and events as he can during the Carnival season.
