Joe is a "thirty something" Middle school Guidance Counselor, Coach, Volunteer Firefighter and occasional Bartender. Needless to say, he is an active member of his community. Joe is passionate about his role as protector and guide for his middle school kids. 

Joe has avoided involvement in political matters and prefers to keep his views to himself. He finds political squabbling depressing and in his view, generally unproductive. Well, that was Joe before a cruel, ICE inspired incident at a school bus stop in Lindenwold, NJ sent terrified children running, screaming for their lives; before he experienced this alleged immigration management strategy gone hopelessly mad. Joe has shared his story with  renowned Philadelphia Inquirer political columnist Will Bunch,  MSNow host Nicole Wallace, Governor Mikie Sherrill, Congressman Ted Lieu  and Senator Andy Kim amongst others. Fortunately, Joe agreed to tell us at Tales from 2nd Street, his transformational story. We are proud to present Joe Zobel.
