Report
As a comms director, it can make you very uneasy when an investigative reporter calls, but i can say it was a pleasure to work with Joe - hes an all-around pro. He is a thorough and responsive storyteller, and his ability to grasp the big picture sets him apart from other reporters Ive worked with.
