About working with NFN and me, Joseph

• Jam fun, casual, focused, and like to make big things happen in big ways.
• It's just as important to me that you get value from your experience as I do.
• I travel about 25% of the time and not always available - you'll need to have the aptitude to keep going without lots of instruction and at the same time know when to stop or seek direction.
