In 2014 Joe attended Blue Ridge College’s Craft Beverage Program where he earned a certificate from the Institute of Brewing & Distilling. The certificate turned into an internship with Wicked Weed which soon became full-time employment, helping to set up the sour facility at Wicked Weed’s Funkatorium.
In 2015 Joe opened Sanctuary Brewing Company which was a staple of downtown Hendersonville for over 4 years. Much like Sanctuary, Oklawaha features 16 unique small-batch craft beers on draft as well as live entertainment. To date, Joe and his team have won a total of 10 medals at the North Carolina Craft Brewers Competition, including 4 gold medals for beers ranging from lager styles to double IPA’s. The staff at Oklawaha has also been a part of winning best bar and best live music venue in Henderson County 3 years in a row
